The Asuka class carrier is from the Space Battleship Yamato 2205 / 3199 series and is a support ship that operates alongside the Yamato and other battleships.

It does not have the bow-mounted wave-motion cannon of the battleships, but incorporates a flight deck and other supporting capabilities.

This is the 'DX' version which comes without LED lighting units, but includes additional waterslide decals to mark the ship as the Asuka or any of the others in that class.
