The Valízeno-Class Cruiser is a Guided Missile Cruiser in service with the Inyurstan Navy. It is built primarily as a dual-specialty air-defense and anti-ship cruiser, but can take on a wide variety of combat and support missions. To date, it is the third-largest indigenous vessel built in Inyursta behind the De'Calero Class Aircraft Carrier and Nuveau-Lyon Class Aviation Cruiser.

Design
Being the largest non-aviation vessel in service, the Valízeno is envisioned to take on the role as command flagship in the "post-carrier maritime environment" (PCME), wherein both friendly and hostile carriers are either sunk, forced to retreat or willfully withdrawn from combat. To accomplish this mission, the Valízeno is equipped with an impressive array of systems and capabilities - primarily oriented for anti-ship and anti-air mission roles.
Electronics & Sensors
Defensive
Leading the "soft" defenses of the Valízeno class is the VE-42SM-J Electronic Warfare suite, a long-range and powerful jammer capable of interrupting missile tracking and airborne radar, as well as potentially severing control of drones. [Add jamming capabilities here]
Armament
Anti-Ship
The underpinning anti-ship armament of the Valízeno-Class is the 32 SSL-09K special launch tubes, capable of launching the SSM-4 Leviathan. Arranged with twelve launchers facing forward-port, twelve facing forward-starboard, six facing straight port and six facing straight starboard, a total of 24 supersonic anti-ship missiles can be reliably launched at a forward target, and a total of 18 at either a port or starboard target. Seratto Defense claims that in a quote "desperate, do-or-die situation" the missiles can be fired "up and around", though performing such a maneuver wastes precious flight time & initial energy.
Launched from a number of VLS cells, the SSM-158 Sirèna AShM is a long-range low-observable cruise missile optimized to pick out a specific target and follow the path of least resistance. The extremely low-altitude, low-observable munitions give the Valízeno a "quieter" option to attack enemy vessels lacking proper reconnaissance assets, or to perform a lethal timed-launch attack with the louder SSM-4 missile. While the "LRASM" is a favorite among air-launched munitions for its long range, it's range when launched from surface vessels is significantly reduced (due to the energy lost in launch and inability to "glide" down to cruising altitude), meaning the Valízeno still has to be within typical attack distance for its SSM-4 missiles to utilize the LRASM.
