The current admiralty is determined to retire from the Imperial Navy all vessels that do not conform to current standards in Imperial ship-building. One such vessel is the Revenge class DDEN, a guided missile destroyer tasked with defending the task force or fleet. Currently no solid ideas for a new class of DDENs are on paper, which has forced the Admiralty to modify the design of an existing class of destroyer. The Sabre class DHKN was briefly considered as a base for the new design, but it was judged to not be a significant enough upgrade to warrant the time and money required. This left the Minotaur class, which is in turn a slight modification of the FDI-designed Centaur-X class, as the only choice.
