The Spitzer class of guided missile destroyers (DDGs) is a Cartadanian Navy class of destroyer built around the Prometheus combat system and the ATLAS multi-function active electronically scanned array radar. The class is named for Admiral Uriah Spitzer, a Cartadanian destroyer officer during the Second Great War. The vessels were built by Cartadanian shipbuilder Valorica Marine between Santaria, Siena at Valorica's Santaria Yards and Valorica, Triessa at it's Valorica Shipbuilding, with the 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 César Padrón-class destroyer 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 cruisers, 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 and Ganymede, defense contractor Xira, as well as QSI-susidiaries O'Shea Corporation and Shockwave Industrial. It has been built alongside the Pelaxian Navy's Hugo Charpantier-class frigate.
