The [[Gezi-class frigate]] is a class of surface combatants in service with the [[Ghantish Navy]]. It was designed to replace the venerable [[Model_68_Common_Destroyer#Arculari-class_destroyer|Arculari-class destroyer]] which, by the time the first Gezi-class vessel entered service, was more than forty years old. The Gezi is designed primarily for the anti-submarine role, for which end it is equipped with a state-of-the-art sonars suite of [[Arthurista]]n origin. In wartime, its main mission would be to patrol the Eitanland-[[Ottonia]] gap for [[Liothidia]]n attack submarines. It features a number of optimisations for the arctic conditions found in this theatre of operations, including the ability to remain stable with up to 300 tons of ice on its deck.  
 
The Gezi is designed as a universal escort, capable of carrying out both area anti-air defence and anti-submarine roles. In the former function, it is equipped with the Arthuristan HERAKLION phased array multifunction radar, capable of tracking more than 400 targets within the surrounding airspace and engage them with long range surface-to-air missiles. The latter four ships of the series is equipped with a boosted version of the HERAKLION, which extends its range out to 300km. This upgrade may be gradually retrofitted to older vessels as the naval budget allows. In the interim, the four ships featuring the 'boosted' radar will be used as specialist air defence vessels to escort the IGN's two carrier battle groups.
 
In the anti-submarine role, it is equipped with a state-of-the-art sonars suite comprised of both a hull-mounted sonar and a towed array. The Gezi also possesses considerable anti-ship and land attack capabilities, using the {{wp|RBS-15}} and [[ACM-1 Cerberus]] cruise missiles respectively.  


Gezi-class vessels were designed from the outset to be optimised for the subarctic Nort Thalassan conditions which the Imperial Ghantish Navy operates in. In stormy seas, it can remain stable even with up to 270 tons of ice accumulated on its main deck.  
Nevertheless, it has a versatile mission set, capable of combatting not only sub-surface threats, but also enemy ships and land targets with its plethora [[Belfras]]ian land-attack and indigenous anti-ship cruise missiles. It also carries up to 32 medium-range [[AD-16 Adder]] anti-air missiles optimised to combat saturation attacks by anti-ship missiles. The latter is complemented by its CAELIS multifunction phased array radar system, jointly developed by Belfrasian and Ghantish engineers, which is a compact derivative of the Belfrasian [[RN/SPD-4]] system used in the latter's [[Warrior-class destroyer]] of which eight are in Ghantish service.

The Gezi-class frigate is a class of surface combatants in service with the Ghantish Navy. It was designed to replace the venerable Arculari-class destroyer which, by the time the first Gezi-class vessel entered service, was more than forty years old. The Gezi is designed primarily for the anti-submarine role, for which end it is equipped with a state-of-the-art sonars suite of Arthuristan origin. In wartime, its main mission would be to patrol the Eitanland-Ottonia gap for Liothidian attack submarines. It features a number of optimisations for the arctic conditions found in this theatre of operations, including the ability to remain stable with up to 300 tons of ice on its deck.

Nevertheless, it has a versatile mission set, capable of combatting not only sub-surface threats, but also enemy ships and land targets with its plethora Belfrasian land-attack and indigenous anti-ship cruise missiles. It also carries up to 32 medium-range AD-16 Adder anti-air missiles optimised to combat saturation attacks by anti-ship missiles. The latter is complemented by its CAELIS multifunction phased array radar system, jointly developed by Belfrasian and Ghantish engineers, which is a compact derivative of the Belfrasian RN/SPD-4 system used in the latter's Warrior-class destroyer of which eight are in Ghantish service.
