The Valore class (literally, Valor) of guided-missile cruisers is a class of warships designed for and operated by the Royal Salisfordian Navy.
The Valore class are combat capable multi-role ships with the capability of operating as a flagship. Its Mk 41 VLS can launch Tomahawk cruise missiles to strike strategic or tactical targets, or fire long-range antiaircraft Standard missiles for defense against aircraft or anti-ship missiles. Its helicopters and sonar systems allow it to perform antisubmarine missions. And its modern and powerful electronics and communication suites allows it to coordinate and direct naval task groups with ease.
