The Savina-class was a class of six experimental light cruisers built as fast scout cruisers focused on anti-aircraft armament for the Cacertian Royal Navy. Armed with a total of sixteen RN-QFII naval guns, the Savina-class possessed arguably the heaviest anti-aircraft armament of any cruiser in the Siduri War. Many of the ships in the class saw heavy action during the conflict with one ship—HMS Megantis—sunk during the Battle of the Sabri Sea.
Despite being well-received in their intended role, the Savina-class did not fair well as surface combatants with the only ship of the class to have engaged in a direct surface battle being sunk. This has often been attributed to a combination of its light armor and relatively short-range surface armament. Eight ships were initially planned, but the final two were cancelled at the start of the Siduri War.
After the war, the remaining five ships served as training vessels until eventually being decommissioned in 1950.
