Taxata-class battleship

The Taxata-class was a planned line of 6 battleships ordered by the Imperial Navy in 1936 and 1937. They were designed and intended to counter the Kanashan Navy's numerically superior battleship force in the years leading up to the !4th Riyudic-Kanashan War. However, the line's construction was interrupted by the Invasion of Riyude in early 1941. Ultimately, only two ships of the class were completed: Taxata and TBD (originally TBD), the latter of which was boarded and captured by Kanashan troops on !Date.

The Taxata-class ships each possessed a main armament of eight 18-inch guns, the largest caliber ever mounted on a warship at the time. If all six planned ships had been completed, they would have represented the most powerful force on the seas, eclipsing many other nations' navies which had been demilitarized and confined to interwar treaty regulations.
