The Anginda-class battleship was a planned class of four fast battleships to be built for the Royal Tennaiite Navy (RTN) during the 1920s. Only two of the ships were completed. They were intended to reinforce Tennai's "eight-eight fleet" of eight battleships and eight battlecruisers after Syara announced a major naval construction program in the same period. In keeping with Tennaiite naval doctrine of the time, the ships were designed with the idea of “qualitative” over “numerical” superiority.
