The '''''Mírgóiteaca'' class''' is a class of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_helicopter_dock landing dock helicopter (LHD)] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_assault_ship amphibious assault ships] in service with the [[Mirhaimian Realm Armada]]. A development of the previous Móican-class with accommodations made to operate larger landing crafts and more advanced aerial assets, the Mírgóiteaca-class is thus capable of supporting the transportation, and, in conjunction with other supporting vessels, support the deployment of an entire Armada Marine Expeditionary Force (AMEF) via both sea, and air. Ships of the Mírgóiteaca-class are also capable of providing continuous aerial support via its compliments of VTOL fixed-wing aircraft and coordinating land-air warfare operations. If the needs arise, ships of the class can be repurposed as small aircraft carriers with a small complement of fighter aircraft.
 
All ships of the Mírgóiteaca class were built by the Aeterite [[Lárman Shipbuilding Company]] in [[Blaithnad]], with the lead ship and flagship of the Ruthic Armada, the MRAS Mírgóiteaca (LC-523), having been laid down on December 9, 2002. Currently, five vessels of the class are in service with the Mirhaimian Realm Armada, and one with the [[Sayqidi Imperial Armada]] as the HSMS Scheherazade.
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
Mírgóiteaca-class ships are armed with two automatic quadruple-pod launchers capable of holding up to 8 FIM-92 missiles and four 12.7 mm machine guns or 7.62mm MG-95AA, as well two as 20mm guns intended for close-in self-defence against asymmetric threats faced during anti-piracy operations, such as speedboats and suicide boats. There also exists 2 installations for Pótsa A-45Mk1 autocannon.
 
The vessel, as you can already tell, lacks significantly in terms of weaponry, so consequently, vessels of its class simply cannot be deployed into hostile waters without sufficient escorting ships. This problem can easily be filled in by the sheer amounts of small naval escort vessels in the service of the National Navy as well as other countries in the project. For CIWS operations, ships of the class are equipped with a pair of Defender CWIS Mark 1.
 
=== Medical facilities ===
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
 
The 900 m2 (9,700 sq ft) hospital provides 20 rooms and 69 hospitalisation beds, of which 7 are fit for intensive care. The two surgery blocks come complete with a radiology room providing digital radiography and ultrasonography, and that can be fitted with a mobile CT scanner. 50 medicalised beds are kept in reserve and can be installed in a helicopter hangar to extend the capacity of the hospital in case of emergency.
