USS Independence (CVN-80)

The USS Independence (CVN-80) was the third Arizona-class supecarrier in the United States Navy. Due to being under construction, the Independence was unable to join in the Second Korean War, however, one of the squadrons meant for it, the recently reactivated VFA-133 "Blue Knights" (an F-35C Lightning II squadron), was stationed aboard HMCS Warrior. In 2025, it took part in naval exercises with the HMCS Victorious, HMS Queen Elizabeth, MN Jeanne d'Arc, and NAeL Brasilia.


 * In OTL, the CVN-80 is named the Enterprise and will enter service in 2025 as opposed to late 2023 ITTL.
