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.
