OFS Vulture (AC7)
The OFS Vulture is an aircraft carrier in the Osean Maritime Defense Force, designed as a successor to the OFS Vulture that was sunk during the Circum-Pacific War. It was a member of the IUN's peacekeeping forces during the initial stages of the Lighthouse War, and one of Osea's few remaining carriers after Erusea's initial attacks.
History
In May 2019, the Vulture managed to safely escape Gunther Bay where multiple Osean aircraft carriers were sunk by Erusean forces. However, the carrier lost all of its aircraft during the escape.[1]
On May 30, the Fort Grays Island's Golem and Mage Squadrons joined up with the Vulture. They were tasked with securing air superiority in the Chopinburg Rainforest while the OFS Kestrel II performed a simultaneous attack on Farbanti. The operation, codenamed Dual Wielder, was a failure as the Kestrel II was sunk and other Osean squadrons were shot down in Chopinburg.[1]
On June 6, the Vulture launched Golem and Mage Squadrons again, as well as Sea Goblin, to rescue former Osean President Vincent Harling from the International Space Elevator. This operation failed as well with the death of Harling and all Sea Goblin members.[2]

Trivia
- In the E3 demo for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, the Vulture was incorrectly labeled as the Albatross.[3] This was mostly fixed in later versions of the demo and the full game, but one instance of it being referred to as the Albatross in the full game remains during the briefing of Two-pronged Strategy.[1]
