In the 1960s the Royal Navy considered augmenting its fleet with a class of supercarriers complemented by light VTOL carriers. The supercarriers were deemed too expensive, but the VTOL carriers were regarded as more capable multirole platforms, cruiser-sized vessels incorporating anti-ship missiles like their Yuktobanian counterparts. Three Impervious class carriers were ordered and delivered in the 1970s. Although two of the three ships were lost in the 1997 coup, the short-lived Western VTOL fad had a lasting effect on North Point through its focus on the Impervious as its main tool for power projection. The acquisition of the HMS King Gordon, however, indicates a shift away from VTOLs in the Royal Navy's strategy.
