The Andrea Doria-class is a class of steam-powered fast battleship in service with the Cacertian Royal Navy. They were the last all-gun battleships built and commissioned in Cacerta and were later succeeded by the more advanced, guided missile-armed Empress Elliana-class. Despite the introduction of guided missiles, however, the Andrea Doria-class ships have continued to serve an important role in Cacertian naval doctrine by providing naval gunfire support in several conflicts following the end of the Siduri War. Ships of the class saw service in the Refusal War, FedCom Civil War, Nalayan Civil War, and were put on active alert during the Midsummer War.

Although relatively expensive to maintain as operational fleet units, the Andrea Doria-class battleships have remained on active duty well into the present-day. The last few decades saw several massive refit programs in order to keep the battleships on modern-day standards. Despite the creation of the Queen Anelyn-class, the Andrea Doria battleships are expected to remain in service for the next few decades.
