The Project 15470 is a class of frigates in service with the Unifying Navy. Conceived as the primary unit of the Navy in 1990s, the ship was designed with extensive assistance of Redisan and Elatian shipbuilders. Initial batch was partially constructed on the foreign shipyards or with foreign supervision, while further batches were entirely domestically constructed.
All ships of the family are multipurpose vessels, capable of combating air, surface and sub-surface threats, as well as providing support for landing operations. Eight midship missiles serve as their primary offensive weapon, while 36 vertical launch cells at the fore contain various air defence missiles. In addition to that, the first batch carried three 100mm turrets to serve as both anti-ship and anti-air weapons, while the later batches switched flanking turrets for the domestic twin 60mm mounts. Two helicopters complement the design's offensive capabilities.
The family serves as the mainstay of the Unifying Navy and its most numerous surface combatant.
