	Battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Imperial Japanese Navy's Satsuma was the first battleship in the world to be designed and laid down as an all-big-gun battleship, although gun shortages only allowed her to be equipped with four of the twelve 12-in (300 mm) guns that had been planned.
		Instead of further attacks by aircraft, on Monday 27 May the Royal Navy's battleships King George V and Rodney with 2 cruisers and a number of destroyers engaged her with guns and torpedoes, such as the HMS Dorsetshire.
		The ships, while comparatively big for a cruiser, are not battleships in the traditional sense; they adhere to the design premise of a large missile cruiser and lack traditional battleship traits such as heavy armor and significant shore bombardment capability.

	Ships of the Royal navy at Trafalgar
		Table B is an abstract of this list showing the number of ships of each class and rating and giving separately the ships in commission, those in service and those for harbour service, both in ordinary but available for sea in commission and in ordinary.
		The line-of-battle ship was the sole instrument for obtaining the command of the seas, and on the whole the 74 gun ship was generally accepted as the best investment of naval expenditure, the tactics proper to such vessels having been worked out in many an action.
		The large tumble-home given to the ships was adopted mainly with the object of obtaining greater strength against transverse racking strains and facilitating the obtaining of suitable timber for the upper beam knees.
