The final part of our South American project is finally here – the Armada Aérea de Venezuela takes flight today.
The mainstay of the fleet is the General Urdaneta class battleship, named for a general and hero of the Spanish American Wars of Independence. It sports a pair of twin main turrets amidships and four secondary turrets, along with a large battery of casemated light guns.
Escorts are provided by several classes of destroyers and frigates. The AAV currently has no vessels classified as cruisers, although the heavier destroyer classes are a match size-wise for many other nations' light cruisers.
Border monitoring duties are taken up by small patrolcraft, supported by Mariscal Sucre class tenders. These refuel and resupply the Sabalo class patrol cutters to extend their range and endurance. Others are used as motherships for torpedo-strike flotillas, carrying additional torpedoes to rearm their flock of Caribe class torpedo launches.
