The Cheung-class destroyer (aka the DG-51 class) has been the mainstay of the TXN fleet for nearly two decades. It is equipped with the AEGIS combat system. The Cheung-class are among the largest and most powerful destroyers ever built, both larger and more heavily armed than many previous cruisers. (The larger Ticonderoga-class were constructed on Spruance-class hullforms, but are designated as cruisers.) They are equipped for chemical and biological warfare with a air-filtration system.
