	Majestic class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Majestic class was a nine-ship class of pre-Dreadnought battleships, built under the Spencer Programme (named after the First Sea Lord, John Poyntz Spencer, 5th Earl Spencer).

		The class was also the last to have side by side funnels, with successor classes having funnels in a line.

	THE BISMARCK CLASS
		The Dante Alighieri class of battleships were the first battleships in the world to have the triple turrets down the centerline. They were also Italy’s first dreadnoughts. Although she was faster than most of her contemporaries, she had relatively weak armor, which would later become typical of all Italian ships
		The Caio Duilio class of battleships were powerful and fast battleships. They sacrificed armor for speed and powerful weapons. These ships were comparable in power to the Arkansas class of ships, but were much faster than they were.
		The Caracciolo class of battleships were neverbuilt. Work on them were suspended in 1916, in order to concentrate on building destroyers, submarines, and other light craft. Work on them resumed in 1919, but was stopped once again in 1920. They were all scrapped by 1922.

	South Dakota
		The main problem with the desire to build a better battleship was the strict 35,000-ton limit that still applied to any new U.S. battleships at the time of the construction of the South Dakota class.
		South Dakota herself stood the test of her armor when she was engaged by the Japanese battleship Kirishima in the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal.
		Her armor was never pierced, neither the belt nor the conning tower, but hits in her unarmored superstructure and an electric fault early in the action severely hampered her fighting ability.

	USN Ship Types--Battleships
		U.S. Navy battleship construction began with the keel laying of the Maine in 1888 and ended with the suspension of the incomplete Kentucky (BB-66) in 1947.
		Except for the fast Lexington Class battle cruisers and Iowa Class battleships, these were all relatively slow vessels, as heavily armored as they were armed, intended primarily to steam in formation with their "sisters" and slug it out with similar opponents, using their powerful guns to settle the matter.
		Though the Alaska class large cruisers (CB-1 through CB-6) of 1941 are actually part of the cruiser design lineage, some sources persist in (mistakenly) referring to them as "battle cruisers".

	Battleship Class Ship Models
		In fact, the Jadzia Dax Mk V class is generating transwarp corridors that are so stable that, as long as the corridor is open, there is little measurable difference between them and stable wormholes.
		The Majestic Class Fast Quantum Heavy Battleship is a conjectural, but evolutionary post-Next Generation design variation that carries the Sovereign Class spaceframe well into the 25th century.
		The power drain of all of these weapons means that the Missouri class ships had a large set of fusion reactors, separate from the impulse reactor system, which constantly supplied power to the main grid during battle.
