Pllalludalli-class frigate

The Pllalludalli-class frigate (FFM) is a class of Stenzan frigates. It is the newer class of frigates in active service with the Stenzan Navy. These ships, like their older sisters of the Minanea-class, are a frequently seen sight around Stenzan waters, acting as a general naval workhorse. The design is superior to its older sister.

Design

The Pllalludalli-class was designed to replace the aging Minanea-class frigate with a new and modern design to last the Stenzan navy for the decades to come. The design was made by investigating foreign naval technology.

Operational History

The Pllalludalli-class has followed in its siblings footsteps in providing escort services to merchant vessels and larger fleets while also acting as an independent naval asset capable of investigating low level threats. The ships are capable of projecting a reasonable threat and are capable of a multitude of roles at sea, allowing relative autonomy for these ships when acting. The punch these ships pack also allows them to fight invading naval forces in the defense of Stenza.

Block II

After finishing the original production run of 12 ships in 2014, 12 more ships were ordered as part of a 2025 proposal to replace all old destroyers and frigates with new designs. 5 new ships are currently under various stages of construction under "Block II" status, being redesigned to accommodate more modern systems and weaponry to improve capability.
