Lina-class battleship

The Lina-class battleships were a class of dreadnought battleships constructed for the Imperial Riyatic Navy during the First World War. They were a slightly larger version of the Diniye-class battleships, with the primary difference being that they possessed triple gun turrets instead of twin gun turrets. They were intended to bridge the gap between the Imperial Riyatic Navy and the numerically superior Agar Holy Navy, and were therefore designed to be able to engage two enemy battleships at once. However, after the surprising Riyatic victory at the Battle of the North Kasaren Sea, the numerical difference between the two navies was effectively eliminated before most of the Lina-class were completed. As a result, the rapid construction of the expensive capital ships were suddenly a much lower priority. Out of the 10 planned ships, only 4 were built before the war concluded; the rest were sold for scrap before being completed.
