The Vanguard class destroyers are a series of guided-missile destroyers built for the Grand Velikoslav Navy that can serve multiple roles with the ability to attack targets on land, in the air, on the surface, and under the water. The vessels are equipped with the MP1 Radar Complex, which is a key component of the Ravelin Fleet Defense System, but are slated to receive MP6 complexes starting in late 2024 when the ships will receive two additional CIWS systems and have their loadouts adjusted as part of the navy's program to combat small surface combatants.
