List of Urcean battleship classes

This is a list of all classes of ships which have served in Urcea's Royal Navy with a designation of "battleship" or a variation thereof. The list is in chronological order from introduction date of the ship class.

Restoration-class battleship
The Restoration class was a class of two super dreadnoughts built for the Urcean Royal Navy in the 1910s. Intended to be the "next step" from the pioneering Archduchy-class, the ship featured larger guns arranged in a more efficient turret layout, much thicker armor, and slightly higher speeds than its predecessors. A significant controversy about the cost effectiveness of the ship - which many considered only a marginal upgrade - delayed production of the ships. In 1912, the Concilium Daoni finally agreed to order 16 of the ships. Financial and logistical problems at the shipyard, PYC Limited, lead to significant delays, and by 1917 only two ships were delivered compared to the full line of the Archduchy-class having been delivered in a similar time. By the time the two ships of the class were delivered, new plans were already underway for an even more heavily-armed ship, the Ardri-class. In June of 1917, the Concilium Daoni canceled construction of the remaining 14 ships in favor of the newer Ardri-class.

Despite problems with its design, the two Restoration class battleships served in the Second Great War, primarily in the Audonian theater as part of the Far Eastern Squadron. Both ships were critical in ensuring Levantine access to the Gulf of Kandara during the early phase of the war, and they played a critical role in defending Antilles as the island was besieged in the early 1930s. Following the Battle of the Adonáire Strait, both ships were converted into the Victory-class aircraft carrier in 1936-37 to fill the sudden need for aircraft carriers.

The Restoration class carried four twin 14-inch guns, fourteen single 6-inch guns, a small compliment of anti-aircraft guns in 1935, and four 21-inch torpedo tubes. At the waterline, it was protected by 13 inches of armor, as were the gun turrets and conning tower. In 1935, the class included a compliment of between 923 and 951. At maximum speed, the Restoration class could achieve 23 knots.
