The Galleon class was a ship class of Roman-designed submarines operated by the Roman Republic Navy's Territorial Water Defense Command. They were designed as a direct follow-on from the X class: physical dimensions were the same, but stronger materials were used in hull construction, and updated equipment was fitted.
The Galleons operate primarily in the territory within the Roman EEZ, with duties including surveillance, tracking of other ships and submarines, delivery and retrieval of special forces personnel, and serving as targets for anti-submarine training.
