The Grenade is considered to be a powerful carrier. It was designed by the IPA just before the Lightness War and proved to be better against Lightness forces than the Gigerdos type of carrier, even while it was bigger, thus easier to hit, and lacked the speed of the Gigerdos carriers. However, it's capable of launching as much as 600 fighters and this was the reason why it performed well against the Lightness.
