The Culaíne class were fast battleships built for the Paleocacherian Navy between the 1950s and 1960s. Initially two ships were ordered in 1956 in response to growing competitiveness of the Royal Reian Maritime Force's Yamato Class Battleship, to remain competitive the Culaíne class was designed. The Culaínes were based on it's preceding ships, but scaled up to accommodate more powerful 380 mm (15 in) guns and armor to protect them from guns of the same caliber, they featured the concentrated arrangement as the Dunkerques for the main battery: two quadruple gun turrets placed forward. They also incorporated new, more compact boilers that allowed for a shorter hull (which required less heavy armor) for the desired top speed.

Reactivation and Modernization

In 2013 the Department of Defense of Paleocacher gave the Notice of Project Awarding to the Reian shipbuilder Hanabishi Heavy Industries, after having noted the successful modernization of the Yamato Class Battleship in 1992, the Navy seeking a viable capitals reactivated the two ships of the Culaíne.

The Culaínes we're modernized outfitted with modern search radar such as the AN/SPY-1D(V), all of its small arms meant for Anti-Air we're stripped out to make way for the newer and more effective Type 88 CIWS, the Culaínes we're then fitted with Four 64-cell Vertical Launch Systems and Tube launchers to allow it to engage in modern Beyond Horizon Combat, improvements with the main battery we're made increasing the gun's effective range to 50km.
