The '''Killeen-class''' are a class of six {{wpl|helicopter cruiser}}s built by [[Pereda Construción Naval Consolidada]] for the [[Imperial Navy of Temuair]]. They are primarily designed for {{wpl|anti-submarine warfare}} tasks and are intended to form the center of antisubmarine warfare task forces, the primary purpose of these task forces being the location and elimination of [[Notreceau|Notreceauen]] {{wpl|ballistic missile submarine}}s and their escorts, as well the detection, prosecution and elimination of hostile attack submarines seeking to engage Imperial military vessels or merchantmen.

Only one of the two Killeen-class vessels laid down in 1964 was completed and commissioned into the Aisling Naval Service, the second was sold for scrap in 1970 when it became clear that the [[Temuair#government| ''Oireachtas '']] was not willing to allocate the funds required to complete the vessel. The only completed vessel, the ACA ''Misneach'', was commissioned in 1972 and remains ins ervice to the present day having undergone a major refit and  upgrade cycle in 2014.  


The last remaining vessel of this class in service, the  BNA ''Ascendencia'' is assigned to the Imperial Navy's [[Military Districts of Temuair|Descanso Flotilla]] . The ''Ascendencia'' is slated to be retired in early 2020.

In the 1980's, the 6 vessels of Killeen-class received equipment upgrades, replacing their [[Tridente (missile)|Tridente]] missiles and arm launchers with newer, longer ranged missiles based on the {{wpl|RIM-67 Standard}} missile. In addition the [[Areiva]] [[Chama (missile)|Chama]] anitsubmarine missile and launcher were removed from the vessels, and the weapon replaced by the more capable [[Aerotecnia MASIN]] missile; a 533 mm torpedo-tube launched missile which can equip either an anti-submarine torpedo or a nuclear depth charge.  The ships received an updated electronics package, mounting Graymayre-550 2-D air search radar, a new fire control radar also from Graymayre and the Hybrasil ''Eco-C'' sonar.

The Killeen-class are a class of helicopter cruisers built by Oibreacha Iarainn Comhdhlúite for the Aisling Naval Service. They are primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare tasks and are intended to form the center of antisubmarine warfare task forces, the primary purpose of these task forces being the location and elimination of ballistic missile and attack submarines.

Only one of the two Killeen-class vessels laid down in 1964 was completed and commissioned into the Aisling Naval Service, the second was sold for scrap in 1970 when it became clear that the Oireachtas was not willing to allocate the funds required to complete the vessel. The only completed vessel, the ACA Misneach, was commissioned in 1972 and remains ins ervice to the present day having undergone a major refit and upgrade cycle in 2014.
