Huateta-class battleship

The Huateta-class battleships were a class of four warships constructed for the Imperial Riyatic Navy from 1945-1949. They were a slightly larger version of the Taxata-class battleships modified based on the experience gained during World War Two. They were ordered despite heavy postwar budget cuts to the military, as the government recognized that the navy emerging from World War II had lost nearly the entirety of its battleship fleet. It was deemed "of vital importance" that new capital ships were acquired before the end of the decade. Therefore, plans were drawn up to construct the Huateta-class battleships.
