The '''Athfhuaim'''-class (Aen. '''Resound'''<ref>Literally translated, ''Echo'' | The '''Athfhuaim'''-class (Aen. '''Resound'''<ref>Literally translated, ''Echo''; ''Resound'' is used as a noun in this case.</ref>) was a type of {{wp|Cruise-missile submarine}} developed and built by [[Faneria]]. Built off of technical plans of the Caphirian [[Portunus-class submarine|Portunus]] class and lessons learned from Faneria's first nuclear-powered submarine, it aimed to fill the same role as the contemporarily-developed Caphirian [[Venilia-class submarine|Venilia class]] as a long-range, ambush-based antishipping submarine cabable of harassing enemy fleet groups and destroying vulnerable shipping. | ||
Whereas the Caphirian navy could afford to fund the production of whole squadrons of such vessels for major naval engagements, the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)|Fhainnin Army]] of the 1970s and 1980s both lacked the budget to fund a squadron-oriended cruise missile submarine program and the desire to commission a large class of nuclear-powered warships while only working off the single in-house example set by the ''Cinneadh''. As a result, the initial proposal of twelve vessels was reduced to a total of eight completed hulls. | Whereas the Caphirian navy could afford to fund the production of whole squadrons of such vessels for major naval engagements, the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)|Fhainnin Army]] of the 1970s and 1980s both lacked the budget to fund a squadron-oriended cruise missile submarine program and the desire to commission a large class of nuclear-powered warships while only working off the single in-house example set by the ''Cinneadh''.
