Lafayette was a single one-off battlecruiser built for the Sieuxerrian Navy. It was the last capital ship built by Sieuxerr prior to the War of Gothian Succession. It was generally a slightly enlarged and improved Conquérante class, with new geared steam turbines, additional primary and secondary guns.
