The Kongur class is a Dnieguan amphibious assault landing ship. Sometimes referred to as a small aircraft carrier or a strike cruiser, the Kongur is one of the largest and most expensive ships ever put into service, and has been widely criticized by Dnieguans due to cost of operation and construction. Regardless, the ship plays a vital role in Dnieguan force projection and replaced a series of smaller, less advanced ships.
