HMS Valiant

A helicarrier is an airborne aircraft carrier used by SHIELD as a mobile command center.

SHIELD Helicarrier Specifications

  • A SHIELD helicarrier appears to be at least as large as a US Navy Nimitz-class carrier.
  • The ship is lifted by four turbines that are at least ten meters across. The ship can land safely on water, during which the turbines are submerged.
  • Power for the ship isn't specified, but it presumably comes from an advanced nuclear power plant.
  • The carrier has a full air wing, including modern jet fighters with VTOL capabilities.
  • Reflectors on the ventral hull allow the carrier to camouflage itself from ground observers.

Doctor Who Helicarrier

The Master designed a helicarrier, the HMS Valiant, for UNIT while he was living on Earth as "Harold Saxon". It was later destroyed during a Dalek invasion.
