Description Notes: The Kommandant is the last Kaiser-Class Battleship to be in the Aerah Naval Service still, as her sisters were either destroyed or sold. The Kommandant was converted into an aircraft carrier in 1940. She is most heavily armed Carrier since she has the hull/belt armor of a battleship and she is armed with heavy duty weapons. Since she is lighter than her former Battleship form, she can travel at even faster speeds, up to 32 knots.

Like the Graf Zeppelin where they would also put 15 cm cannons into the hull without understanding that a aircraft carrier should remained far away from the line of battle.
And with too few fast shooting anti aircraft guns.

How often dos the boilers hit the high C

Well, the only difference is this ship was a Battleship before and was converted recently haha. So it could take hits if it went close up to the line of battle. But, it isn't recommended more like a "go at your own risk." Or "Go because I told you to - Admiral" 

Boiler-wise... I don't have a good understanding yet of them... Sorry 

If you were saying a joke with "High C" Which sounds like "High Sea" to me... Hmmmm HMMMMM

I remember several battleships and battlecruisers was converted to carriers, most had removed most of the deck armor and could therefore have more planes onbord.

Wagner operas is known for the fat lady hit the high C
