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.

Sensors

The vessel has a complex sensor package, known as the Comet Sensor Complex, which allows it to perform vital roles for fleet intelligence. The seven powerful constituent radio electronic systems and number of onboard super computers are capable of tracking missile launches, and can determine the type of rocket, range and launch site and target coordinates, payload weight and telemetric data, even down to the chemical composition of the rocket fuel used. This unique complex of systems can pinpoint any target, monitor communications channels, track satellites and identify the specifications of any spacecraft from a distance of 2,000 kilometers. The vessels are capable of monitoring vast sections of ocean and intercepting radio communications. The first vessel on its maiden voyage tracked a launching satellite from over 1,400 kilometers away.

The vessel in service of the Divine Rocket Corps uses its high fidelity antenna to keep in contact with the orbiting Jin satellite network and monitor orbital objects.
