The Monte Cristo-class coastal defense cruiser is a class of 8 coastal defense ships built from 1905-1909, used in both World Wars and the FSR Aquilla conflicts, and then being used as offshore patrol vessels into 2030. These long-serving vessels were originally designed for last-ditch coastal defense to be powerful enough to overwhelm anything, and normally used for patrol duties, such as anti-smuggling, anti-illegal operations, SAR, and security. Decommissioning of the historic ships began in 2020, with all ships to be preserved.
