	Delaware class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Delaware-class battleships of the United States Navy were its first true "Dreadnoughts", carrying a battery of ten 12-inch guns in five turrets, and capable of exceeding 20 knots.
		They were significantly more powerful than their predecessors, the Congress not having limited their size when authorizing construction, with two more 12-inch guns, a secondary battery of 5-inch guns instead of 3-inch types, and 2.5 knots more speed.
		As an experiment, the ships had different powerplants, with the Delaware getting a triple-expansion reciprocating engine, while North Dakota was fitted with a Curtiss turbine engine, initially a direct drive design, later replaced with a geared turbine.

	USN Ship Types--Delaware class (BB-28 and BB-29)
		The Delaware class were the U.S. Navy's first real "Dreadnoughts", carrying an "all-big-gun" main battery at a speed of over twenty knots, thus enabling them to deliver a greater volume of heavy shell fire than previous battleships, while keeping outside the range of those ships' numerous medium-caliber guns.
		Their Congressional authorization did not specify a maximum size, so the Navy designed Delaware and North Dakota to be a quarter larger than their immediate predecessors, with two more twelve-inch guns, a secondary battery of five-inch rather than three-inch guns, and two-and-a-half knots greater speed.
		Delaware served with the Grand Fleet in the North Sea during 1918, while North Dakota remained at home training sailors for participation in the conflict.
