Similar to the IJN Yamato class battleships, the Prevoygrad class battleships are the only battleships left in active Prevanian service.

Weaponry

The main weaponry consists of 6 46 cm (18,1 inch) naval guns mounted in 2 triple turrets. Each weighs about 3000 metric tonnes.

Unusually, both turrets face foreward, with none to the stern. This is so that personnel can operate on the rear deck during battle and it frees up space for VLTs for tomahawk missiles.

For secondary armament, 18 12 cm (4.7 inch) guns are mounted in 6 triple turrets.
