Nation-class maritime destroyer

The Nation-class maritime destroyer, classified at the time of its service as an air combat destroyer, was a line of surface combatants that served in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during the Interplanetary Wars. They were named after Aboriginal nations of Australia, and were occasionally called the Wirangu-class after their lead ship. Along with the Warrior-class of the late-twenty-first century, the Nation-class held the title of the single-most successful class ever adopted by the RAN, with a total of 19 ships assembled at BAE System Australia's Williamtown, Osborne, and Franfield facilities between 2130 and 2144. In addition, a further three vessels were built for the Royal New Zealand Navy as the slightly-modified Maori-class.
