The Osprey-class littoral combat ship is a Zamastanian littoral combat ship operating in the Zamastanian Naval Forces. A networked, agile, stealthy surface combatant capable of defeating anti-access and asymmetric threats in littorals, they are designed to protect friendly ships against hostile submarines and other vessels in low to medium threat environments, using torpedoes and helicopters. Independently, they are able to conduct counterdrug missions and other maritime interception operations.
