The Orque class (literally, Orca) are a series of diesel-electric fast attack submarines designed and built by the Kingdom of Salisford for the Royal Salisfordian Navy. The Orque-class was intended to be a multi-mission capable replacement previous classes, and the Orque-class now forms the bulk of Salisford's submarine fleet.
The Orque-class was the first Salisfordian submarine class to be equipped with Air-independent propulsion (AIP), which extends their underwater endurance from days to weeks.
