Zeppelin airships were in fairly widespread use by 1914. There is also historical precedent of them being used as aircraft carriers (e.g. USS Los Angeles) around the same time period. Speed is also based off historical statistics I found for zeppelins - they're a fair bit faster than surface ships but also very fragile and can't carry nearly as much (the aircraft I'm using are also weaker than most fighters of the time period because they need to be very light to be carried by an airship).

@Marc: I know they were only used militarily a few years later, but I figured it would be okay being as this is alternate history anyway. If necessary I'll just redact and then add it once a few years of RP time has passed, with airships being used only as transport for now.
