The Gaisgeil (English: Gallant)-class submarine is a type of nuclear ballistic missile and attack submarine produced in the 1980s-90s by Faneria. It was constructed by Sethsport Shipyards United, and was the first strategic attack submarine fielded by Faneria. It remains the only nuclear submarine in service with Faneria, but is slated to be replaced by the Charcarodon, a jointly produced Fhainnin-Pelaxian project.
