Turning a Galaxy into a carrier

The Lincoln carrier conversion illustrates how civilian space, shuttlebays, replicators, and accommodation could be exchanged for a fighter wing.

Notes

The conversion removes family-oriented facilities and enlarges the saucer's shuttle operations while adding manufacturing support for fighters. The class's adaptable volume becomes military capacity once the strategic environment changes. Industrial replicators, expanded accommodation, and a larger shuttle complex support the air group rather than merely storing it. The resulting carrier combines embarked fighters with repair, rearmament, and the supporting crew needed to sustain them.
