Scinfaxi and Hrimfaxi

Scinfaxi and Hrimfaxi are the names of a pair of fictional gigantic Yuktobanian submarine aircraft carriers in the videogame Ace Combat 5. They are named after the Norse mythology characters Skínfaxi and Hrímfaxi. It is nuclear powered and can remain submerged for long periods of time. It is armed with burst missiles that are able to destroy anything below an altitude of five thousand feet. As well, the Scinfaxi carries F-35 and Harrier aircraft, while the Hrimfaxi is equipped with UCAV drones she can launch while submerged from a vertical launch system.

The Circum-Pacific War

In the game Ace Combat 5, Scinfaxi was first used to destroy two Osean aircraft carriers. In a battle on October 10, 2010, the Yuktobanians also deployed the Scinfaxi to help the invasion of Sand Island. Most of its missile attacks during this battle were shot down by the orbiting laser satellite Arkbird, rendering the Scinfaxi less effective. However, it was still able to bring down many "nuggets", or new pilots, using its burst missiles. At the end of the battle, the Wardog squadron, with the help of the Arkbird, was able to take out the submarine.

The Hrimfaxi was later deployed in the North Sea at the Razgriz Straits. Its task was to drive back the Osean forces advancing on Cinigrad. However, it was sunk within 3 days of its deployment by the Wardog squadron. This victory against some seemingly invincible enemies served to bolster even more the Wardog squadron's fame and thus people started to associate them with the legend of famous demon which names the Razgriz straits.
