KP Týmpana-se-vathiá (CV01), Constancian Hover-Kitty class aircraft carrier and flagship of the Constancian Navy. Acquired, along with its naval air wing, in 1670 from the naval service of Talenore in return for four logistics support vessels, four corvettes, 20 missile boats and 100 S-2 missiles. Notable deployments include Operation Tropic Badger (1671) - supporting the occupation of the island of Zylenisí (Zylenia) and conducting freedom of navigation exercises towards Hoennese Niijima Isle - conducting patrols of international shipping lanes (1672) and conveying the Autokrator Primo de Aguilar to Punta Santiago on a de facto state visit to attend the Presidential Inauguration in Alduria (1673).

In 1699, sailed under the control of naval mutineers and moored off Port Aguilar to serve as barracks ship and interim airfield. The vessel was recaptured by loyalist forces during the Air Force-led counter-coup which ended the struggle for control of Trans-Euran Command and the Imperial Constancian Armed Forces. During the recovery operation from Port Aguilar the carrier suffered significant structural damage officially attributed to the disintegration of a 70-ton dock crane which caused debris to crash onto the ship's flight deck. Repaired inasmuch as circumstances permitted, the Týmpana-se-vathiá, accompanied by a small flotilla of tugboats and support vessels ventured southwards along the eastern coast of Eura to join the gathering allied armada in Altus for the final offensive against the rogue state of Zeed. The Týmpana-se-vathiá endured a boiler fire whilst transiting Surenid territorial waters and completed the greater part of its journey under tow. The carrier arrived off the Alduria island roads on 14.XIV.1699 AN and received Yponavarchos Apolyon Marinakis as flag officer shortly thereafter, with the vessel serving as a command vessel for the Director of Maritime Operations and his staff. The carrier spent the remainder of the war as a command vessel, still anchored off Alduria Island, coordinating operations ashore and served as a venue for the formal surrender of Zeed on 18.IX.1701 AN.

Plans were made to convert it into a museum ship immediately thereafter. While not formally decommissioned, as it remains a flagged warship of the Imperial Constancian Navy, effective the first day of 1702 and to the present, it serves as an assembly, receiving and training institution of the Imperial Constancian Navy, while permanently moored at the Aqaba Dockyards.
