The Pemberton-class destroyer is a class of ten Zamastanian guided missile destroyer of the Zamastanian Naval Forces, designed as multi-mission stealth ships with a focus on land attack. It is a multi-role class that was designed for secondary roles of surface warfare and anti-aircraft warfare and originally designed with a primary role of naval gunfire support. These ships are classed as destroyers, but they are much larger than any other active destroyer or cruiser in the Navy. The vessels' distinctive appearance results from the design requirement for a low radar cross-section (RCS). The Pemberton-class has a wave-piercing tumblehome hull form whose sides slope inward above the waterline, which dramatically reduces RCS by returning much less energy than a conventional flare hull form.
