The Royal Equestrian Navy and the Royal Government were less interested in submarine warfare and mostly put force into surface warfare. However,
The Senior Admirals who served formerly in Submarine Service know the importance Submarines in warfare. Under the Befehl der Tiefseestreitkräfte, the Royal Equestrian Navy were able to build and commission new submarines.

Development

The Royal Equestrian Navy and The Royal Government were less interested in Submarine Warfare and mostly put all the project into Surface Force. The Senior Officers who formerly served for the Submarine Forces of the Royal Equestrian Navy however gave information on what's the importance of Submarines in both defensive and offensive missions. With the information, The Admiralty decided to acquire at least 30 submarines in different class' in order to make their submarine force flexible. The Submarines currently in service were also aging at the time they decided to acquire new submarines. The Government gave authorization but ultimately reduce the intended target to 15 new submarines. Because of the decision, The Admiralty and The government debated. But the King, Freiheit II, a former Submarine Commander settled the debate and decided to let the Navy build the intended target they needed. This ultimately led to the creation of Befehl der Tiefseestreitkräfte which solidify the construction of 50 new submarines for the Navy, ultimately surpassing the original target of the Navy.

The Prinz class were the main basis of the Prinzessin class. They were intended to be a subclass of the original Prinz class as they were converted to Cruise Missile Submarines, but with the change of systems and new layout, The Prinzessin class became a class of it's own.

A cruise missile submarine is a submarine that carries and launches cruise missiles (SLCMs and anti-ship missiles) as its primary armament. Missiles greatly enhance a vessel's ability to attack surface combatants and strike land targets, and although torpedoes are a more stealthy option, missiles give a much longer stand-off range, as well as the ability to engage multiple targets on different headings at the same time.

The only major difference of Great Country cruise missile submarines and Seven Continents cruise missile submarines is their weapons. Many Seven Continents cruise missile submarines retain the capability to deploy nuclear warheads on their missiles but Great Country cruise missile submarines do not deploy nuclear warheads and the only submarines who can deploy them are Ballistic Missile Submarines.
