Minanea-class frigate

The Minanea-class frigate (FFM) is a class of Stenzan frigates. It is the oldest class of frigates in active service with the Stenzan Navy. These ships are a frequent sight around Stenzan waters, acting as a general naval workhorse. The Minanea class has been upgraded over the years. A subclass, the Dii-class frigate (FFA), has more powerful air defense capabilities at the cost of its anti ship missiles.

Design
The Minanea-class is based off the design of contemporary Daxian designes, adapting technologies used by Daxia to the requirements of the Stenzan navy. The frigate is designed to be able to suit a multitude of missions by itself, allowing the Stenzan navy a cheap way of conducting multiple missions.

Operational History
The Minanea-class has seen widespread use throughout the years, fulfilling various roles from coastal defense to fleet escort, anti submarine warfare and more. The ship's ability to operate independently and with speed allows it to be the first on scene when Stenzan naval presence is required, while its low cost makes it perfect for investigating scenarios before further assets are committed. These ships played a part in the 1984 Sudmoll Conflict, with Lele sinking a Burgoignesc ship.

Dii subclass
The Dii-class frigate (FFA) is a subclass of the Minanea design, trading the anti-ship missile for a more powerful air defense radar and longer range anti air missiles. The data link from this radar allows the Dii-class to share its information with other ships in its formation, enhancing air defense capability.
