The Nat Turner-class was a class of frigates used by the Royal Torch Navy.

Built at cost by Hauptman Yards, Ltd. of Manticore, these ships were essentially hyper-capable versions of the Royal Manticoran Navy's Shrike-class light attack craft, but with about twice the missile capacity, a pair of spinal-mounted grasers with one of the grasers bearing aft.

The first eight Nat Turner-class vessels[1], which were delivered to Torch around 1921 PD, were mostly paid for by Klaus and Stacey Hauptman out of their own private pockets. (CS2)
