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.

* *Vienybė* 42 (launched 1630, struck from lists 1701)
* *Ledi Julija* 46 (launched 1644, struck from lists 1679)
* *Markas* 64 (launched 1650, capsized 1652)

### First Vydmantine Charter (1662)

The ships of the **First Charter** were ordered by the direction of King Vydmantas III as part of a planned naval reform. Four of the eight planned vessels were completed.

* *Karaliskasis Liutas* 80 (launched 1664, broken up 1694)

### Second Vydmantine Charter (1680)

The **Second Charter** was an attempt by Vydmantas III to restart the naval reforms started in 1662. It was slowed due to funding, and only two ships of twelve planned vessels entered service.

* *Kometa* 40 (launched 1680, grounded 1697)
* *Innichenziai* 40 (launched 1680, broken up 1694)

It saw the funding of four light ships of the line (two 50-gun ships and two 60-gun ships) and six 72-gun ships. Plans to build a three-deck ship of the line were shelved due to cost.
