The '''''Spitzer'' class''' of {{wp|guided missile destroyer}}s (DDGs) is a [[Cartadanian Navy]] [[Cartadanian Navy#Ships|class of destroyer]] built around the [[Angelico|Prometheus combat system]] and the [[Angelico|ATLAS]] multi-function {{wp|active electronically scanned array}} {{wp|radar}}. The class is named for Admiral Uriah Spitzer, a Cartadanian destroyer officer during the [[Second Great War]]. The vessels were built by [[Cartadania]]n shipbuilder [[Valorica Marine]] between [[Santaria]], [[Siena]] at Valorica's [[Santaria Yards]] and [[Valorica]], [[Triessa]] at it's [[Valorica Shipbuilding]], with the {{wp|lead ship}} of the class named for Admiral Spitzer himself.


== Development ==
Development of the Spitzer-class destroyers started in 2008 when the Department of the Navy was considering phasing out the {{sclass|César Padrón|destroyer|1}} in favor of a newer, multi-mission destroyer. It primarily came to fruition due to a multitude of factors, including increased tensions between Cartadania and [[Varshan]], mechanical failures on the César Padrón, and increasingly obsolete technology. Originally, the Department of the Navy planned to replace the destroyers with {{wp|cruiser}}s, but the SECDEF urged the Department of the Navy to maintain the destroyer classification with expanded roles. The navy signed a contract with [[Valorica Marine]], a major shipbuilder headquartered in the state of [[Triessa]], and after Trinity Iron Works pulled out of the contract negotiations, Valorica became the sole contractor. The project is developed and provided along with partner corporations, including [[Angelico]] and its other subsidiaries (e.g., [[Allocca]]), energy solutions manufacturers [[Bia S.A.|Bia]] and [[Ganymede S.A.|Ganymede]], defense contractor [[Xira S.A.|Xira]], as well as [[Quicksilver Industries|QSI]]-susidiaries [[O'Shea Corporation]] and [[Shockwave Industrial]]. It has been built alongside the [[Pelaxia]]n Navy's [[Hugo Charpantier-class frigate]].
