Protecting the Ships and the Sea

The SCF-68i Sea Ranger I-SPEC is a derivative of the SCF-68i Sea Ranger S.3 designed specifically for fleet defense and interception. It features more hard points, advanced weaponry, an advanced radar, better engines, and canards removed. The Sea Ranger I-SPEC officially entered service with the Starcrest United Naval Force on May 17, 2025 to replace the SCF-46i Valiant I-SPEC S.3 as the carrier's main fleet defense fighter. The Sea Ranger I-SPEC itself will be replaced by the SCF-71 Sentinel, projected to be around 2035 at least.

The Sea Ranger I-SPEC carries 22 missiles to defend the fleet. It's armament can carry the SCATRAM NEO and Super SCATRAM NEO. The SCATRAM NEO itself has been a proven hypersonic missile ever since the later years of the Cold War while the Super variant is a much larger and more powerful variant of said missile.

NFW-11 "Ocean's Eleven"

This aircraft is part of Naval Fighter Wing 11 "Ocean's Eleven." They operate a squadron of SCF-68i Sea Ranger I-SPEC fleet defense fighters and are stationed on the SNS Spirit of Polka, an Apollo-class carrier that was christened and entered service in 2021. The aircraft itself is piloted by Captain Michael Nguyen, callsign "Bodan."

The squadron's current insignia is based off of VFA-31 "Tomcatters" squadron emblem. It features the VTuber Shishiro Botan holding an SSRB in a similar fashion to VFA-31's Felix the Cat. The squadron emblem has been in use since 2021.

    Looks 8.5/10 overall really good but the cockpit view is kinda bad

    Functionality 8/10 super fast and decently maneuverable, and it was super easy to land on the beast!

    Weapons 10/10 22 missiles?!?!?!? Holy shit!

    Total 26.5/30
