Designed 50 years after the standard ''Leopard'', advances in curved armor allowed the designers to create a more aerodynamic craft, though they left the internal systems nearly unchanged. The signature tail of the aerospace carrier does reduce the infrared signal when aimed away from an observer but opens the design to the loss of control surfaces when needed, such as in an atmosphere. The vessel's lack of a separate transit drive also requires a reconfiguring of crew furnishings, similar to the ''[[Nagumo]]'' and ''[[Avenger]]''.<ref name=TRO3057r14/> + Cousin to the original ''[[Leopard]]'' class [[DropShip]], the '''Leopard CV''' is the most common fighter carrier in the [[Inner Sphere]]. Carrying a standard squadron of [[AeroSpace Fighter]]s, the vessel is the means by which an assault (or raiding) force can transport the AeroSpace support to the scene of battle from the jumppoint, providing dedicated refueling, re-arming and maintenance requirements. However, due to its lack of significant cargo space, the vessel is not intended for long-term habitation; instead, the transported crew would require continuous support from the mother [[JumpShip]], until the time for system transit. Like its cousin, there are plenty of parts, both still in production or available as salvage and surplus, to keep the ''Leopard CV'' strongly active. − − The crew and passengers of a ''Leopard CV'' can enjoy small though single occupancy rooms, a rarity aboard a combat DropShip.
