List of ships of the line of Liotain

The Royal Liotainian Navy was a late adopter of the large ship-of-the-line. During the 1600s, they experimented with a small number of vessels, but focused far more heavily on the traditional galley fleet. In the early 1700s, the fleet was comprehensively rebuilt during the Teyrnon Reforms, and thereafter maintained a strong seagoing component. 
The Liotainian shipbuilders avoided large ships-of-the-line (first and second rates) in favor of vessels with shallower draft. Liotainian designers usually compensated with heavier-than-average guns, particularly on the lower gundecks. Liotain's largest ship-of-the-line was also its last, the 90-gun steam-powered Perkunas of 1853. 
Liotain never officially used a rating system for its sail battleships, although some officers used the Firoccan rating system on an informal basis. 
==Early Ships (1619-1700)==
Galleons and ships of the line were largely ignored in favor of the traditional galley fleet. The most notable ship built in this period, the Markas, was top-heavy and capsized in 1652 while leaving port on its maiden voyage. The loss of the ship stymied further attempts at reform until the First Charter.
