The ARC ''Gracia de Régne'' is the lead and only ship of her class, serving as the flagship of the [[Royal Corric Armada]] ''(Armada de Réal Corric Réal)''. Built in 1968 as a planned first of three new helicopter cruisers for the First Fleet of the ARCACR, budget constraints necessitated only the single ship be finished.
 
Serving as a humanitarian aid escort and the official naval conveyance of King [[Sebastián II de Naranza|Sebastián II]] in peacetime, the ship is able to serve as a front-line combatant in war. It can fulfil a variety of roles, but is usually tasked with air defense and anti-submarine duties.
 
Despite talks in the Armada to replace her with a new class of guided missile cruiser, the ''Gracia'' remains in service in large part due to her aircraft carrying capabilities, which at 10 helicopters is the largest naval aircraft complement in the ARCACR.
