The Dino Calvini-class was a series of three heavily armed and armored battlecruisers built in the aftermath of the Divide War for the Cacertian Royal Navy. The class was the first officially designated battlecruisers for the CRN and were the first Cacertian capital ships to feature all-diesel propulsion. Although later cruisers and heavy cruisers of the Royal Navy would surpass the Dino Calvinis in displacment, they would continue to retain their battlecruiser classification.
All three ships were considered a major instigator in what would later be known as the Cruiser Race between the Cacertian Empire and the Republic of Syara which greatly escalated the ongoing naval arms race between the two nations in Siduri. The successor classes of the Dino Calvinis would be considerably heavier, faster, and more heavily armed and armored. Although well suited for fighting surface vessels, it was later determined that they severely lacked anti-aircraft armament.
For the duration of the Siduri War, the three battlecruisers often served alongside battleships and carriers as part of their respective escort triads owing to their slower speed in comparison to the Anastasia Alberti-class and Lucrezia Quintilian-class. None of the three ships were lost and would subsequently survive the war, later serving as training ships until ultimately being scrapped in early 1940s.
