The Admiral Seisuko class, also known in Pelinai by its naval project designation Project 221-87G, is a class of guided missile cruisers operated by the Royal Pelinese Navy. They are the first class of large warships designed and constructed in postwar Pelinai, and fulfill the role of area air defense in Pelinese naval task forces.
Admiral Seisuko class cruisers are sophisticated multirole warships with a particular focus on providing area air defense coverage and serving as the flagship of a task force’s anti-aircraft warfare commander; as such, they carry larger, more powerful air defense radars than Umihana-class destroyers and possess flag facilities for an admiral and supporting staff. They also possess the ability to detect, track, and intercept space warfare threats such as ballistic missiles and satellites, and are capable of transferring targeting information to other Pelinese warships.
