The Roucharde-Class Frigate is an anti-submarine vessel featuring a low-RCS design with a low-draft hull. It is capable of seeking out and destroying enemy subs in both blue and green water environments. It is named after Don Ernesto Roucharde, an early voice for Inyurstan independence from imperialist collaboration.
Design
Roucharde class frigates are designed with smooth contour edges and both built and painted with radar-absorbing materials to help reduce radar return. It's hull is also reduced-draft design, which can help reduce the acoustic signature of the vessel. Hull portions under the surface are coated with anechoic tiles to help absorb active sonar and mask its acoustic signature to passive sonar when in motion. Pump-jet propulsors generate less noise than traditional propellers to further reduce its acoustic signature, even when in motion. Additionally, active noise reduction systems (Prairie Masker) help make this ship harder to detect by hostile submarines.
Armament
Mounted in bow and aft, the Roucharde has a total of x20 VLS cells. Typically taking up most of the VLS space, the primary armament of the Roucharde class is the ACS-22 Manta anti-submarine missile. This weapon gives the ship the ability to engage enemy submarines at ranges longer than almost any other anti-sub weapon. The Roucharde class carries x3 ROTOR Anti-Submarine Rocket turrets, one mounted in the central bow, one tower-mounted, and one mounted in the aft. In desperate situations, the ship can execute a "broadsides" and fire up to x27 rockets to canvas a suspected submarine position at once. A last line of defense is a pair of x2 (x4 total) torpedo-tubes, typically designed to carry to Pu-30 GLASS or PU-90 DIAS lightweight torpedoes.
For defense, the Roucharde carries a number of quad-packed [MISSILE TYPE HERE]. Two ADM-113 Corsair missile CIWS are mounted, one above the main cabin, the other above the aircraft hangar. A single Entengo "Enforcer" 57mm Autocannon is mounted at the bow, which can be used to engage low-flying targets and near-surface maritime drones.
Aircraft
Aircraft serve as a vital complement to the Roucharde class's mission, specifically the MH-60R LAMPS III. Shipborne AN/SQQ-89(V)15 software allows the ship to effectively communicate, utilize and share information with its helicopter complement. This vessel is optimized to carry two SH-60 helicopters fitted for anti-submarine missions, but a single larger rotary or VTOL aircraft can be carried if necessary.
