The Gezi-class frigate is a Ghantish class of surface combatants. 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.
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.
