| - The España-class battleships were built in the early 2150s as part of the European Security Alignment's space program. Both battleships later served in the International Fleet.
- The España class was a series of three dreadnought battleships built for the Spanish Navy in 1909–1921. The construction of the ships took so long due to shortages of material supplied by Great Britain during World War I, particularly armament. The three ships were the only Spanish dreadnoughts ever built, and the smallest dreadnoughts ever built. They were armed with eight guns, but their small displacement——forced the designers to compromise on armor protection and speed.

| - The España-class battleships were built in the early 2150s as part of the European Security Alignment's space program. Both battleships later served in the International Fleet.
- The España class was a series of three dreadnought battleships built for the Spanish Navy in 1909–1921. The construction of the ships took so long due to shortages of material supplied by Great Britain during World War I, particularly armament. The three ships were the only Spanish dreadnoughts ever built, and the smallest dreadnoughts ever built. They were armed with eight guns, but their small displacement——forced the designers to compromise on armor protection and speed. España, Alfonso XIII, and Jaime I served in the 1st Squadron of the Spanish Fleet, which became the Training Squadron in the 1920s. They all saw action during the Rif War in the early 1920s supporting Spanish ground forces. España ran aground in August 1923 and was wrecked. Alfonso XIII was renamed España in 1931 after her namesake, King Alfonso XIII was exiled. The two surviving ships served on opposite sides of the Spanish Civil War, and both were destroyed during the conflict. España struck a naval mine laid by her own side in February 1937, and Jaime I was destroyed by an internal explosion in June 1937.
