The Killeen-class are a class of helicopter cruisers built by Oibreacha Iarainn Comhdhlúite for the Aisling Naval Service. They are primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare tasks and are intended to form the center of antisubmarine warfare task forces, the primary purpose of these task forces being the location and elimination of ballistic missile and attack submarines.
Only one of the two Killeen-class vessels laid down in 1964 was completed and commissioned into the Aisling Naval Service, the second was sold for scrap in 1970 when it became clear that the Oireachtas was not willing to allocate the funds required to complete the vessel. The only completed vessel, the ACA Misneach, was commissioned in 1972 and remains in service to the present day having undergone a major refit and upgrade cycle in 2014.
