Reina Victoria Eugenia-class battleship
The ''Reina Victoria Eugenia'' class was a class of three battleships of the Spanish Navy authorized as the ''Plan de la Segunda Escuadra'' under the Navy Law of 1913. The class, as well as the lead ship, were named for King Alfonso XIII's English queen consort, Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg. The other two ships were classified as "B" and "C". It was supposed to be designed by Vickers-Armstrongs, and built by John Brown. The ships were never built due to Britain's involvement in World War I, which halted all foreign projects being constructed in British yards.
== Background ==
Following disastrous losses in the Spanish–American War of 1898, Spain lacked the money to rebuild its navy, so it was not until the Navy Law of 7 January 1908 that a new program authorizing three new battleships, the (''España'', ''Alfonso XIII'', and ''Jaime I''), along with other ships, was passed. The delay enabled Spain to take advantage of experience gained by Britain with the world's first commissioned dreadnought, , and by the United States with its first dreadnought, . As Spain was incapable of building the ''España'' class herself due to a lack of resources, Armstrongs were contracted for the design and John Brown for the construction of the shipyard and ships themselves.〔Fitzsimons, p. 856〕
A second Navy Law was passed in 1912 named the ''Plan de la Segunda Escuadra'' (Second Squadron Plan). It called for, among several other ships, three dreadnoughts to supplement the ''España'' class. These dreadnoughts were named the ''Reina Victoria Eugenia'' class. They were to be in laid down in 1914 and 1915 and completed around 1920.〔
