PFRNC Capital Ships
The purpose of this article is to outline the capital ships in both the navy (Marinaterre) and space fleet (Universal Command) of National Commonwealth. All ships under the Department of Armament carry the sign N.C.S. (National Commonwealth Ship) or N.C.V. (National Commonwealth Vessel). National Commonwealth designs and maintains its own fleet of ships, rarely purchasing products from third-party corporate affiliates or nations. None of its ships are for sale.
