The Bartoloměj class is a class of guided missile cruisers designed and built by the Milsau Shipyard and Mostky Shipbuilding. The class is named after King Bartoloměj III, ruler of Holynia from 1731 to 1757. The class is designed to have a multi role functionality. Its primary role will be to operate as a command ship with anti-ship, anti-land, anti-submarine, and anti-aircraft capabilities. The class also has ballistic missile tracking capabilities because of the multifunction active electronically scanned array naval radar system. The class is meant to replace the Mladkov class cruisers and complement the Podkost and Kováň class guided missile destroyers.

Development

The Mladkov class cruisers suffered from limited air defence capabilities. The limited air defence radars and low anti-air missile stocks of the Mladkov class became apparent when the Lapša class guided missile destroyers entered service. Growing maintanence issues on systems, weapons and the powerplants of the Mladkov class led the Holyn Navy to research a replacement. In 2012, Milsau Shipyard and Mostky Shipbuilding were awarded a contract to develop the replacement of the Mladkov class. The development was alongside the Ledetz class guided missile destroyers, which the new cruiser would share a number of similar features. The design was unveiled in 2014 with construction beginning in 2015. The first ship was to be named after King Bartoloměj III, ruler of Holynia from 1731 to 1757. The ship was launched in 2016 and conducted sea trials in 2018. Fitting out of the King Bartoloměj III concluded in 2019 and the ship continued sea trials and training. The ship was commissioned on 10 March 2021 and entered service with the 3rd fleet.
