Fulca class corvette
The Fulcas were born out of the experience of the Great War, that showed a weakness in Antara's coastal and harbour defenses, particularly against submersibles. These corvettes were the first ships of their size to adopt depth charges and hydrophones, along with destroyers. The Navy wanted at least 60 vessels, which could patrol both the mainland coasts and her island territories. 17 vessels were completed before the budget for the class was slashed by naval reforms passed by the newly crowned Emperor William VI.
