		The fourth Connecticut (BB-18), the lead ship of her class of battleship was launched 29 September 1904 by the New York Navy Yard sponsored by Miss A. Welles, granddaughter of Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy during the American Civil War, and commissioned 29 September 1906 with Captain W. Swift in command.
		Continuing to serve as flagship for the Atlantic Fleet until 1912, Connecticut cruised the east coast and the Caribbean Sea from her base at Norfolk, Virginia, conducting training and joining in ceremonial observances.
		Entering Puget Sound Navy Yard on 16 December 1922, Connecticut was decommissioned there 1 March 1923, and sold for scrapping 1 November 1923, in accordance with the Washington Naval Treaty for the limitation of naval armaments.

	Connecticut class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Connecticut-class battleships were the final class of United States Navy pre-Dreadnought battleship.
		As pre-Dreadnoughts went, they were the finest in the world, being equipped with a heavy broadside (four 12", four 8", six 7", ten 3" and six 3-pounders), having superior seakeeping capabilities and a fast (for the time) top speed of 19 knots.
		After the cruise, the ships were stripped of their fancywork, their bridges were cut down to reduce their target profile and their hulls were repainted from the attractive (but military useless) white-and-buff paint scheme to a dull but functional haze grey.

		CONNECTICUT sailed on her first voyage 25 August 1861, delivered men and supplies to ships on the blockade along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts as far as Galveston, Texas, and returned to New York 29 September.

	The American Battleship Revolution, 1906 - AlternateHistory.com Discussion Board
		When the Connecticut class was being authorized in Congress, naval experts managed to convince Congress to allow the navy a larger displacement for its newest ships, in exchange for canceling two big armored cruisers also planned.
		When Connecticut and Louisiana were revealed to the worldâ”8 14â guns in superfiring twin turrets, heavy armor, and a massive (for the time) displacement, they made every existing warship obsoleteâ”and within a few months, there would be three more in service.
		Battleship 1911 was huge by the standards of the time, mounting 8 of the new 16â gunsâ”and also finally bringing the USA into the turbine age with their battleships.

	USS Connecticut
		Groton — As the United States entered the 20th century, the battleship USS Connecticut was the flagship of the Navy’s Great White Fleet, a symbol of the country’s might on the high seas.
		John G. Rowland noted that the first Connecticut sailed in protection of this country in 1776, and that the submarine commissioned Friday is the fifth warship to bear witness to the state’s maritime heritage.
		Connecticut first lady Patricia L. Rowland, the sponsor of the ship, recalled that when it was christened 15 months ago, she worried about the sailors on the pier swaying and near collapse from the heat.

		From the masted wooden four-deckers of 74 great guns, to the ironclad monitors conceived during the Civil War, to the Maine's keel of steel, battleships of yore were heavily built to carry as much firepower as possible.
		Construction reached its apex with the Iowa class, whose fast, heavy armory proved invaluable working with the carrier groups in the Pacific during WWII.
		By Vietnam, four Iowas were the only battleships on any navy's active list until the New Jersey was overhauled and recommissioned for a tour of the Gulf of Tonkin in 1968.

	The Wells Brothers' Battleship Index: The Tillman Battleships
		Since in reality, six South Dakota battleships were begun, it might be reasonable for a wargamer or alternate history writer to re-use the most of the names and pennant numbers of the South Dakota class for the Tillman battleships.
		One Colorado class battleship, the USS West Virginia (BB-48), was extensively damaged at Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941.
		If a Tillman battleship had been similarly damaged in the 1940s, one could imagine that she might have been similarly reconstructed, and emerged as a very formidable warship.

		She had classes at the house, and they moved to Beverly Hills because my mother had a cousin there who my sister used to go visit and stay [with] during the summer.
		The reason we were assigned was our class destroyer, the Bristol, were considered a little top heavy, and we had been banged up, so we weren't that great at high speed so we took them back.
		Battleships do not look like, when you see them from the side, they don't look like what they show you in the navy, this big, broad beamed thing.

		The six ships of the Connecticut class were the definitive U.S. Navy mixed-battery battleships, a type shoved from the pinnacle of naval esteem by the "all-big-gun" HMS Dreadnought even before the last four went into commission.
		For the next eight years, the Connecticuts were kept busy with fleet maneuvers off the U.S. east coast and in the Caribbean, and in a nubmer of armed interventions in troubled nations "south of the border".

		A fourth LOUISIANA (BB-71) was planned in the 1940s, a new class of battleship (the Montana-class) designed with an increased emphasis on anti-aircraft defenses.
		However, plans for this class of battleship were abandoned as the war progressed and the focus of naval warfare shifted from the battleship to the aircraft carrier.

		She did not have the armor nor the firepower to slug it out as a ship-of-the-line as was the intended role of a battleship.
		Her coal capacity was quite low at 895 tons (significantly lower capacity than either that of a cruiser such as OLYMPIA or a battleship like OREGON) As a result the length of time she could spend at sea was limited, and her ability to run at flank speed, where coal consumption increased dramatically, was limited.
		MAINE's overhanging turrets did not permit her to be coaled at sea from a collier without risk of damage to both her and the collier except in the smoothest of seas.

		The South Carolina class marked the Navy's change from "mixed caliber" battleship designs to an "all big gun" ship with main guns of the same large caliber.
		Limited in displacement by Congressional mandate, USS South Carolina and her sister, USS Michigan, were essentially the same size as the preceding Connecticut class of what came to be called "pre-dreadnoughts".
		Soon outmoded by the rapid pace of battleship development, they spent their final years primarily on training duties and were disposed of in the early 1920s, at an age of just thirteen years.

	Battleship Bismarck (1940-1941) German Navy WW2 Atlantic
		First of a class of two heavy ships, with Tirpitz being the second, she was commissioned in August 1940 and spent the rest of that year running trials and continuing her outfitting.
		Her anti-aircraft battery, including sixteen 10.5 cm (4.1-inch) guns in eight twin mounts and several 37mm and 20mm machine guns, reflected the prevailing pre-World War II underestimation of the threat from the air, a failing common to all the World's navies.
		In the wake of the successful January-March 1941 cruise of the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau against Allied shipping, and in keeping with Grand Admiral Erich Raeder's strategy of aggressively employing his heavy ships, another German Navy raiding expedition into the Atlantic was undertaken, employing the new battleship Bismarck and heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen.

		They were designed before HMS Dreadnought, and according to the same all-big-gun principle as that famous ship, but their construction proceeded so slowly that Dreadnought was commissioned before them.
		In design and characteristics, South Carolina represented an evolution of the preceding Connecticut class, rather than a revolutionary "clean sheet" design the way Dreadnought was.
