Design Details: The former Sabre class hunter-killer destroyers still had useful life in them at the end of their surface, so Fleet Admiral Lady Kano Yamamoto, Third Sea Lord, put forth a proposal to augment the Raider Fleets with a surface element in the form of fastship destroyers. Only around 45% of the ships will remain in service, but the scrap value for those being disposed of will easily pay for the refit of the newly-christened Kitsune class strike destroyers. Most of the design remains the same, with the only major changes coming by somewhat less capable air/surface search radars and more capable OTH radar.
