The Cacertian Royal Navy began using the designation of battleship in 1892. These pre-dreadnought battleship designs were heavily armored warships that mounted a mixed battery of guns in turrets, powered by steam-driven propellers, and without sails. The Cacertian Empire had 36 battleships in commission or under construction before the revolution brought about by the HMS Eerika Waterly-Davion that resulted in the dreadnought era. The launch of the Eerika Waterly-Davion prompted a naval arms race with significant strategic consequences; possession of modern battleships was considered a gauge for a nation’s naval power.

The Cacertian Royal Navy was the largest navy in the world at the time of the Divide War, primarily as a result of the naval dominance doctrine which called for the navy to maintain a number of dreadnought-class warships at least equal to the combined strength of the next two largest navies. During the conflict, however, Cacerta’s Decisive Battle Doctrine and corresponding reliance on dreadnought battleships were called into question when the CRN was incapable of engaging and destroying the Navy of the Syaran Republic while also receiving significant damage in return.

In the years leading up to the Siduri War and under the supervision of Grand Admiral Andrea Doria, the Royal Navy underwent a significant restructuring and reformation program. Dreadnought battleships were abandoned with many of them put into reserve as part of the Home Fleet or subsequently scrapped; the naval dominance doctrine was also abandoned in favor of superior training for the CRN’s naval crews. The importance of battleships was curtailed and instead of focusing entirely on developing a battleship-centric fleet, the CRN reconsidered the importance of destroyers and cruisers which launched a new armament program. These implemented changes proved effective in the Siduri War and eventually ensured that the Common Axis obtained naval dominance in the conflict following the Battle of the Sabri Sea.

The Great Eracuran War saw the effect of land-based and carrier-based aircraft against battleships which resulted in many nations abandoning the concept. Cacerta is currently the only nation in Tyran that continues to develop, design, and deploy modern battleships. The first guided missile battleships, the Empress Elliana-class, began deployment in 1978 with the HMS Sara Vazzana seeing combat during the Refusal War. Subsequent modern designs include the nuclear-powered Queen Anelyn-class and Alayna Cabriani-class.
