The '''''Coria'' class''' was a class of 43 {{wp|light cruisers}} built for the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] in the early part of the 20th century. Designed as part of King [[Patrick III of Urcea|Patrick III]]'s naval rearmament of Urcea, the ''Coria'' class was designed to be a general purpose light cruiser intended primarily for service in the [[Sea of Canete]]. The concept of the general purpose light cruiser was rendered obsolete with the introduction of the [[Glens Falls-class cruiser|''Glens Falls''-class cruiser]], after which time the Coria began service primarily as a scout cruiser and as a flotilla leader. Originally intended to be phased out by the late 1920s, the Coria class served during the middle portion of the [[Great War]], though by that time it was largely relegated to defending shipping lanes between [[Levantia]] and [[Sarpedon]] in order to ensure that the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] was properly supplied and reinforced. The shallow draft and relatively small width of the ship made it one of the few warships able to traverse the [[Carolina-Grand Canal]], and the ship saw service in the [[Vandarch]] under the [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] Marine.

The ''Coria''-class was 118.3 meters long with a 13.5 meter beam and a 5.53 meter draft. Under normal conditions, it displaced 3,664 tons. It was powered by 2 screw propellers and 2 triple expansion engines, capable of achieving a top speed of 24 knots. The ship was protected by approximately 3 inches of armor in most places, and sported 10 4-inch guns, 8 2-inch guns, and 2 torpedo tubes. Its crew complement consisted of 18 officers and 343 enlisted men.

The '''''Apostle''-class''' was a class of fifteen heavy cruisers built for the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] in the 1910s and early 1920s. Naval theorists in the early 1910s perceived a need for an intermediate step between well-armed light cruisers, such as Urcea's ''Glens Falls''-class cruisers, and the battlecruisers of some other nations, which Urcea did not employ. The heavy cruiser concept was born out of that need for a ship to counter other cruisers while still fulfilling cruiser missions, such as scouting and merchant escort. It was anticipated the ''Apostle''-class would work in tandem with a larger number of ''Coria''-class cruisers in some missions. The ''Apostle''-class saw heavy use in the [[Second Great War]] in a number of uses, but it was considered one of the more efficient anti-shipping and anti-destroyer ships of the early war. Five of the ships were converted into ''Gabban''-class aircraft carriers between 1937 and 1940; the remainder were scrapped after the war.

The ''Apostle''-class was 172 meters long with a 18 meter beam and a 5.26 meter draft. Under normal conditions, it displaced 9,750 tons and displaced 12,190 tons at full load. It was propelled by ten oil-fired water-tube boilers, reaching a top speed of 31 knots. At 14 knots, the ship had an approximate range of about 5,400 nautical miles, making it well suited for oceanic scouting and escort missions. The ship had belt armor ranging from 2 to 3 inches in most places, and many other surfaces of the ship were covered with 1 to 2 inch armor, especially covering the boilers. It was armed with 7 7.5-inch guns in single mounts, 3 4-inch guns in single mounts, 8 3-inch guns in single mounts, and 6 torpedo tubes, 2 of which were below water. Its crew complement consisted of 38 officers and 712 enlisted men.
