Notes:
There is only 1 mobile fortress in service.
TFNS Titan, a Asgard-class mobile fortress, flagship of the Avalon Guard.
There are currently 4 superdreadnoughts in service.
TFNS Guardian's Reckoning of the 1st Kavalrists, TFNS Sentinel's Judgement of the 2nd Kavalrists, TFNS Defender's Pride of the 3rd Kavalrists and TFNS Protector's Resolve of the 4th Kavalrists (commanded by Star Admiral Ralf Augusta). All of them being Crusader-class superdreadnoughts.
Dreadnoughts and assault carriers lead a typical TFN battle group.
Notable examples: TFNS Heaven's Fury, Seraphim-class assault carrier, flagship of 7th Fleet (commanded by Fleet Admiral Cindy Velaberg). TFNS Lilithia, Retribution-class dreadnought, flagship of the 15th Battle Group.
Fleet carriers are considered too frail to be flagships, though they are usually the lead vessels of a fleet's carriers.
Notable examples: TFNS Fifth Dawn and TFNS Seventh Hour, both Justicar-class fleet carriers.
Battlecruisers usually lead task forces that are too small to be full fledged battlegroups. The TFN favors battlecruisers, completely phasing out battleships, instead relying on dreadnoughts to fulfill that role. They also form the core component of most TFN battle groups.
Notable examples: TFNS New Hampshire, McKenna-class. TFNS Glorious Triumph and TFNS Thunder Edge, Redeemer-class. TFNS Seafox and TFNS Orca, Leviathan-class.
Carriers are the fighter-carrying counterpart of battlecruisers, typically found leading fighter-heavy task forces.
Notable examples: TFNS Knight Hammer and TFNS Spear of Vengeance, both Conqueror-class.
Heavy cruisers form the main escort element in a battle group, and they provide the initial capital-class screening element of a fleet, just behind the fighter elements.
Notable examples: TFNS Rolandia, TFNS Sammual, TFNS Testarossa, all Star Knight-class.
