Grand Duke Michael class battleship
The Grand Duchy of Grenadine
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The four battleships of the Grand Duke Michael class make up the total battleship strength currently in service with the Grand Duchy of Grenadine. Obsolete in comparison with the battleships in service with the United Worlds Commonwealth and Le Royaume des Etoiles du Cygne, Grenadine is very proud of these vessels which were built using entirely local infrastructure and technology. The only items imported were the UWC F2B Hellburner heavy fighters and the Ariel and Icarus class shuttles carried by the ships.

With surplus power available for future upgrades the government of Grenadine is currently in discussion with the United Worlds Commonwealth over the possible upgrading of electronics and weapons systems, similar to the Commonwealths WESU upgrades of its own TL9 warships.
