The Wolfhound class was a type of destroyers built and used by the Royal Manticoran Navy. They were designed as general purpose destroyers during the Janacek Admiralty to replace all older destroyer models. Heavier than the preceding Culverin class, this new design was fitted with all the new automation technology created during the war, making it more effective than many pre-war light cruisers. With a crew of only 87, a Wolfhound could be manned by a fraction of the personnel needed for older destroyers like the Culverin.
