Coming out of the [[Second Great War]], the [[Navy of Burgundie]] sought to reduce the response time to conflicts in its various trade islands, especially after the humiliating lose of [[Ayermer]] to [[Daxia]]. At one point or another almost all of the islands of the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]] have come under threat, attack, or invasion.

In 1965, it was publicly revealed in the [[Levantine Times Union]] that the second hull of the second flight of the ''Estia'' class had been purchased by the [[National Army Naval Forces (Faneria)|Fhainnin Navy]]. Though at the time only beginning keel-laying, the revelation was a political scandal which saw dual citizen George O'Brien, who owned 3% of shares in [[O’Shea Container Shipping|O'Shea]], lose his Burgoignesc citizenship and be forced to sell his holdings in the country. While [[Faneria]] and [[Fiannria]] would [[Treaty of Resumption of Brotherly Relations (1970)|normalize relations]] before the hull was to have been completed, making the sale of the vessel technically legal through the voiding of the remaining stipulations of the [[Treaty of Loughlin]], the government of [[Burgundie]] faced strong pressure from [[Urcea]] and to a lesser extent [[Fiannria]] to void the sale of the ship. | In 1965, it was publicly revealed in the [[Levantine Times Union]] that the second hull of the second flight of the ''Estia'' class had been purchased by the [[National Army Naval Forces (Faneria)|Fhainnin Navy]].
