Battleship was the name given to the most powerfully gun-armed and most heavily armored classes of warships between the 15th and 20th centuries.
Battleships evolved from northern European cogs, and included carracks and galleons in the 16th Century, ships of the line in the 17th and 18th Centuries, broadside ironclads and Pre-Dreadnoughts in the 19th Century, and Dreadnoughts in the 20th Century.
Battleships still in existence as museums include the American USS Massachusetts, North Carolina, Alabama and Texas, the British HMS Mary Rose, Victory and Warrior, the Japanese Mikasa, the Swedish Vasa, the Dutch Buffel and Schorpioen, and the Chilean Huascar.

 The Battleship Kongo
The Japanese battleship Kongô, a ship with a magical name and an important history, was budgeted in 1910 and ordered from the British shipbuilder Vickers in January 1911.
Battleships had always required masts for spotting, range finding, and fire control, but the need for height increased as possible ranges of targets increased and eyeballing was replaced by heavy optical equipment.
Victory was no foregone conclusion, since these six Japanese battleships (with an ex-Chinese one thrown in), did not outnumber the Russian squadron in Port Arthur.

 Tamiya America Item #78004 | Japanese Musashi Battleship Kt - Order 78016
During Operations South of Luzon, Philippines on 24 October 1944, the Musashi was attacked by several U.S. aircraft from four aircraft carriers, and sustained 20 aerial torpedo and 17 bomb hits, plus 16 damaging near misses.
Four and a half hours after this last attack, the proud Musashi sank, almost to be forgotten in later years, while her sistership Yamato went on to be known as the largest battleship ever floated.
The Musashi differed greatly from the Yamato in her armament, and this model of the Musashi shows her in the latest configuration, just prior to her sinking in 1944.
