The Astuzia class is a class of frigates built for the Royal Salisfordian Navy. They were designed as multipurpose warships with a focus on anti-surface warfare (ASuW) while still remaining capable of anti-submarine warfare.

A capable multi-purpose frigate, the Astuzia class was upgraded over its service life multiple times and the class saw service in both the Rubicon War and the Salisfordian Civil War.
