The Tregueux-class cruiser is a Zamastanian guided missile cruiser of the Zamastanian Naval Forces, servicing anti-air/anti-missile warfare, surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and strike operations independently or as members of a larger task force. The class uses passive phased-array radar and was originally planned as a class of destroyers. However, the increased combat capability of operating as a flagship was used to justify the change of the classification from DDG (guided missile destroyer) to CG (guided-missile cruiser). Commissioned in 1989 and in active service, there are currently 54 Tregueux-class cruisers operating in the Zamastanian navy. They are expected to be in use until 2036.

At 8,500 tons standard displacement and 11,000 tons full load, the Tregueux-class cruisers are the largest destroyers in the Zamastanian Navy, and indeed are larger than most cruisers in the navies of other countries.

Armaments

The Tregueux-class cruiser's main gun is a 127 mm/L62 Mk. 45 Mod 4 naval gun, an improved version of the same gun used on other warships from several other nations. Point-defense armaments include one 30 mm CIWS and a RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile Block 1 21-round launcher. Anti-aircraft armament consists of SM-2 Block IIIA and IIIB in 80-cell VLS. Block IIIB has added infrared (IR) induction mode to Block IIIA, improving cruise missile interception capability.

Anti-submarine warfare armaments consists of both anti-submarine rockets which and 32 light anti-submarine torpedoes. Anti-ship capability is provided by 16 SSM-700K long-range anti-ship missiles. Land-attack capability is provided by the recently developed Guardian cruise missile.
