Calico Jack-class (concept art)

The Calico Jack-class Drone Warfare Destroyer is an advanced destroyer concept under development by Blues Brothers, presumably for the North Frequesuan Navy. It is to be a sister ship to the Ranger class of Air Warfare Destroyers, with which it shares a lower hull design as well as electronics and weapons systems. In March 2018 the Admiralty decided to fund a first batch of three Calico Jack class ships, in the hopes of relieving the duties of the two carriers in service with the NFN.

In keeping with Blues Brothers tradition the warship class is named in honor of San Dorado's piratical history, specifically after the infamous Shroomanian buccaneer John 'Calico Jack' Rackham.
