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 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.
