The Yu Jin class is a command and control naval ship operated by the Eternal Navy. The vessel was designed for multiple uses. Firstly, it is able to support the Divine Rocket Command in launching, tracking, and controlling orbital payloads for satellite launches. Secondly, the vessel serves as a command and control vessel for Eternal Navy operations. Four vessels were constructed; one for the Divine Rocket Command and three for the Eternal Navy. The vessels often cruise in international waters and have periodically caused Jin to be accused of using the vessel's advanced sensor package to perform covert data gathering operations by Neo-Korea and other nations, a claim which it denies.
