Design Overview: At its heart, the Sagittaire class CKN is just the Alexander I Larsen class CGN with a few modifications. However, those modifications mean a world of difference in what kind of operations the Sagittaire engages in. The first, and perhaps most important, modification is switching out the 3.2Mw CO2 lasers and two of the six torpedo catapults for two ASROC rail launchers. The weapon of choice for the launchers is the MkVII Great White UHT (1,000mm class) fitted with an ASROC booster able to loft the torpedo 20km in any direction, which means that a Sagittaire in the primary ASW picket can fully support a ship of secondary ASW picket on the opposite side of the formation. The extremely long range of the MkVII torpedo at a low-speed setting means if it splashes down near an enemy submarine, and that submarine is detected, the torpedo could very likely chase down the submarine if the submarine elects to not disengage. The second modification is the substitution of the SS-24A sonar for a scaled-down version of the SS-22(S) sonar mounted in the Gehenna class SDV. The multi-polar mode allows for the primary ASW picket to have only one in three ships actively pinging, which in turn allows the possibility of an enemy submarine trying to pass through a "gap" in the coverage and instead finding a Sagittaire force-feeding it a torpedo.
