The '''''Vera''-class''' was a class of {{wpl|destroyers}} built by the [[Cacertian Empire]] prior to and during the [[Siduri War]]. The class was designed in the early 1930s as improvements to the previous experimental [[Ambra-Class Destroyer|''Ambra''-class]]. The [[Cacertian Royal Navy]] commissioned a total of 166 ''Vera''-class destroyers between the start of production 1933 to the end of the Siduri War in 1938, more than any other Cacertian destroyer class, and the design was generally considered a success.

Principally armed with six [[Cacertian 150mm RN-QF Naval Gun|150mm RN-QFIV naval guns]], nine 540mm torpedo tubes in triple centerline mounts, and capable of reaching a speed of 42.7 knots, the ''Vera''-class was able to perform every task required of a destroyer in the Royal Navy. As such, they served as fleet escorts in the anti-submarine and anti-aircraft role, commerce raiders, long-range scouts, and harassers. They could also cover vast distances required by fleet actions, primarily serving against the [[Navy of the Syaran Republic]] in the Nuandan Ocean.

While battleships have often been considered the priority in Cacertian naval culture, a massive effort was conducted by the nation’s shipyards across the country with every naval shipyard producing ''Vera''s during the war. The class continued to serve with the Royal Navy in the aftermath of the Siduri War with the last unit finally decommissioned in 1969.
