Avisos and colonial avisos (Burg: ''apostle'' and ''apostle coloniel'', from the Istroyan word ''apostello'' meaning dispatch) have been purpose built ships in Burgundie dating back to the 16th century the beginning of its empire in Audonia and Punth. Their mission became more militarized during the Kiro-Burgundian Wars and with the confluence of the Great War and advances in wireless/radio communications in the middle part of the 20th century they became purely surface combatant vessels. In contemporary usage the term is now includes combat-capable ships larger than patrol boats, but smaller than corvettes. They typically have roles in anti-submarine warfare and coastal defense. In LOTA classification they are usually recognized as corvettes.
Avisos and colonial avisos (Burg: ''apostle'' and ''apostle coloniel'', from the Istroyan word ''apostello'' meaning dispatch) have been purpose-built ships in Burgundie dating back to the 16th century the beginning of its empire in [[Alshar]], [[Audonia]] and [[Vallos]]. Their mission became more militarized during the [[Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars]] and with the confluence of the [[Great War]]s and advances in wireless/radio communications in the middle part of the 20th century they became purely surface combatant vessels. In contemporary usage, the term now includes combat-capable ships larger than {{wpl|patrol boats}}, but smaller than {{wpl|frigate}}s, roughly synonymous with {{wpl|corvette}}s. They typically have roles in {{wpl|anti-submarine warfare}} and {{wpl|coastal defense}}. In [[Levantine Union Defense Council]] classification they are usually recognized as corvettes.


== History ==
== History ==
Early avisos were built as ultra long range dispatch boats and packetships, the military and commercial variants respectively. They were lightly armed and were purpose built to carry mail and government cargoes. They were typically divided into staterooms for travelling officials on the first deck, a crew deck which included the kitchen and storage for sustenance, and then the hold with mail and cargoes. They state rooms were spacious but had any number of canons in them. In the late 19th century these ships were typically clipper ships. With the dawn of the 20th century the navy eventually embraced the combustion engine and steel hulled ships. This transformed avisos into more standardized surface combat ships with room for officials and mail as opposed to the other way around, as their sail powered counterparts had been. They were unique from their combat specific counterparts in that they had massive radio masts and began to serve as radio relays until satellite communications became possible. After the 1970s the aviso lost its purpose and with the advent of the internet in the 1990s it became doubly redundant. The name is retained because it classifies a size of ship not specifically covered by any other designation.

The name was retained because it holds an important place in [[Burgoignesc thalasocrassy|Burgoignesc maritime history]].
 
===21st century===
In the 2010s the term ''aviso'' was used to classify ships that other nations were calling {{wpl|Corvette}}s but with the distinction that corvettes serve as part of a larger force or fleet and Avisos are designed to operate independently. Whereas historically avisos have been synonymous with "light" corvettes, in the 21st century avisos are getting bigger to include more sustainment apparatuses, cargo capacity, and self-defense capabilities, and are starting to resemble the role played by colonial avisos.
 
Whereas a 21st-century corvette would have an offense role like {{wpl|anti-submarine warfare}} or {{wpl|anti-aircraft warefare}}, [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] avisos use that space in their hull design for fuel capacity, cargo storage, and VIP stateroom space, meaning that their armament is less specialized and is more defensive in design.
