The Valmeyjar-class battleships were a class of four fast battleships constructed for the Royal Acrean Navy in the 1940s. Lighter and faster than the Jötunn-class that preceded it, the Valmeyjar-class was the culmination of development of Acrea's traditional fast battleships. During the Eracuran Great War, they served as escorts for Oceana-class carriers. Following the war, they were retained along with the four Jötunn-class ships. They remained a part of the Acrean fleet until 1980 when RAS Catarix was finally decommissioned, primarily serving as naval artillery. The Valmeyjar-class were the last battleships to be commissioned by the Royal Acrean Navy.
