Info: The F45 Santa Marta Class Omnirole Area Control Frigate represents a quantum leap in maritime warfare technology, commissioned by the United Coalition of South America Navy (UCSAN). With an emphasis on speed, agility, and multirole functionality, these frigates are designed to maintain area control in diverse operational theaters, ranging from anti-surface warfare to anti-submarine operations, regardless of the environmental challenges. The Santa Marta Class stands out with its advanced hull design and reinforced armor, making it significantly more resilient than its predecessors. Equipped with a formidable signal jammer from Petralas Electronics, it can effectively neutralize enemy communications, radar, and sonar within a designated radius, making the frigate a stealthy and elusive target. A unique feature of this class is its proximity rocket launcher, a state-of-the-art anti-submarine warfare system that deploys proximity anti-submarine rockets. These rockets lie in wait under the surface and are triggered by the proximity of an enemy submarine, ensuring a formidable defense perimeter around the vessel. The Santa Marta Class has been shrouded in secrecy, with hints of its existence first appearing at the International Defense Expo 2023. The fleet, which includes the flagship UCSAN Santa Marta, along with the UCSAN Bogotá, UCSAN Nuevo Coronados, and seven other unnamed vessels, has been discreetly integrated into UCSAN operations, bypassing public introduction. This stealthy deployment aligns with the UCSAN's strategic approach to modern naval warfare, keeping potential adversaries in the dark about their full maritime capabilities. Developed by the collaborative expertise of Korvat Heavy Shipworks, Moragos Naval Design Bureau, Astilleros Marítimos del Sur (AMS), and Defensa de la Flota Aérea (DFA), the Santa Marta Class is a testament to the UCSAN's commitment to maintaining its naval dominance. The fusion of advanced technology, strategic design, and multirole versatility positions the UCSAN to exert unparalleled control over vast maritime expanses, securing the interests of the United Coalition of South America in the face of rising global maritime challenges.
