The Hayreniky-class was a class of battleships intended to be built for the Navy of the Syaran Republic. The Hayreniky-class was intended to be an answer to the Amika Carpio-Class Battleship fielded by the Cacertian Royal Navy. In many ways the class was also a revision of the older cancelled Scitaria-class, intended to be a large, powerful warship capable of taking on other capital ships fielded by navies across Tyran.
The class was first proposed in 1931 following news that the Amika Carpio-class had been laid down, with the final draft proposed in early 1933. While the class was seen as necessary in order to ensure that the Republic of Syara could maintain force parity on the open seas, the class faced many of the same issues as the Scitaria-class had years earlier; the ships large size, heavy armament, and machinery were heavy demands on a Syaran shipbuilding industry that had just become comfortable constructing large warships. Debates over whether to pursue the development of battleships, or aircraft carriers led to further delays. By the time the Siduri War broke out the class had been approved for construction, but no hulls were ever laid down and the project was cancelled in 1937. The Hayreniky-class would be the last battleship design ever created by Syara.
