The '''ARC ''Gracia de Régne''''' is the lead and only ship of her class, serving as the flagship of the [[Royal AndoranAntoran Armada]] ''(Armada de AndoraAntora Réal)''. Built in 1968 as a planned first of three new helicopter cruisers for the First Fleet of the ACR, 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.
Line 139:
Costs wound up totalling $4.621 billion for the first hull alone, and the Armada Procurement Bureau cut the contract down to that single ship. ''Gracia de Régne'' would be commissioned on the first of August, 1970, after a year and two months of trials. King Benito Ares headed the ceremony to name the ship.
 
Named for the ‘Grace of the Crown,’ the ship automatically became the ship that the reigning monarch of AndoraAntora would travel aboard. The Crown reserved the use of the largest and most powerful warship of the nations’ fleet for their personal conveyance in the First Constitution, and so the designers included a stateroom in the aft superstructure that mimics old sailing ship suites.
