	United States Navy - dKosopedia
		Larger battleships, which were an important part of the U.S. Navy as recently as the Vietnam War, have all been retired, with the last two reserve ships taken out of service in 2005.
		Battleships were distinguished by their large naval guns which could be used for ship to ship combat or in support of ground operations.
		Much of the Navy's current fleet fits a template set by President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War, which in turn was based on a model of warfare drawn from the Naval battles of World War II modified to fit the new role played by nuclear weapons.

	the Wells Brothers' Battleship Index: Are Battleships Obsolete?
		Battleships of this era had an extensive secondary battery of smaller guns, (usually in "casemate" mountings) which were intended to defeat destroyers and torpedo boats.
		While Japan was permitted fewer battleships than Britain or the United States, her entire battle fleet was concentrated in the Pacific Ocean; The US Navy battleships were divided between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the Royal Navy's battleships were divided between the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
		The battleship navies did not stand idly by while new threats evolved, but their actions were limited by treaties and finances.

		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.

	21st Century Battleships
		Battleships require a crew of 1550 sailors, but this can be reduced to 1200 by removing their old 5-inch guns.
		Navy task forces could fire hundreds of harpoon missiles, tomahawk missiles, hellfire missiles and even 5-inch gun projectiles at the target battleship and cause only minor damage.
		I explained that the US Navy's reluctance to devote resources to deal with the mine threat should not reflect badly on the battleships, especially since the battleships still fired 1100 rounds while the Navy fired no 5-inch guns from their billion dollar destroyers and cruisers.

		Battleship is the name applied to very large, heavily-armoured warships with a main battery consisting of the largest caliber of guns, specifically those ships built from the late 1800s through to the mid-20th century.
		The word battleship was coined around 1794 and is a shortened form of line-of-battle ship (otherwise known as ship of the line), which referred to those vessels considered to be large enough to form part of the battle line during the Age of Sail.
		The 12-inch (305 mm) mains and 8-inch (200 mm) intermediates were generally used for battleship to battleship combat, while the secondaries (typically 7-inch (178 mm) to 5-inch (127 mm)) were reserved for smaller threats, such as cruisers and the new destroyers.

	Battleships USS Tennessee BB-43
		The fifth Tennessee was laid down on 14 May 1917 at the New York Navy Yard; launched on 30 April 1919sponsored by Miss Helen Lenore Roberts, daughter of the governor of Tennessee, and commissioned on 3 June 1920, Capt. Richard H. Leigh in command.
		Though the slow battleships were still incapable of serving with the carrier striking force, their heavy turret guns could still hit as hard as ever.
		Since the Navy had won command of the surface and in the air around the landing area, gunfire support ships could close their objective and fire at what was, for a battleship, virtually point-blank ranges.

	THE CONCEPT AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THE AMERICAN
		The second “Standard Type” battleship design was the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38)--a.k.a “Battleship 1913 and Battleship 1914”--which actually represented a development of a scheme considered for “Battleship 1912.” The Pennsylvania sported four triple, single sleeve turrets, vice Nevada’s two triples and two twins.
		Regarding firepower most complaints are minor and center around the use of single sleeves in 14”/45 triple turrets, and reputed dispersion problems with the 14”/50.
		Certainly all navies operated under physical and fiscal constraints, but the US Navy was probably uniquely restricted compared to other powers during the dreadnought period.

		Large and cumbersome, the battleship was a dinosaur by the twenties and thirties and fatally vulnerable to air attack according to this school of interpretation.
		Navies kept battleships because there was always the risk that ‘if a battleship had managed to come within gun range of a fleet without them, it could in theory destroy that fleet and any operation it was involved in’.
		Battleships had had their last hurrah in the Second World War, and from 1945 until the scrapping of the Vanguard in 1960 it is obvious that these ships began to slip from public attention.

	Battleships/USS Alabama BB-60
		It had also been devised to attempt to lure out the German battleship Tirpitz, the sister ship of the famed, but shortlived, Bismarck, but the Germans did not rise to the challenge and the enemy battleship remained in her Norwegian lair.
		The battleship returned briefly to Majuro, before she sailed on 13 April with TF 58, this time in the screen of Enterprise (CV -).
		Detached from the Formosa area on 14 October to sail toward Luzon, the fast battleship again used her antiaircraft batteries in support of the carriers as enemy aircraft attempted to attack the formation.

		He is under the operational control of a task commander, who is responsible for completing some task within the Navy's mission; and is under the administrative control of a type commander, who is responsible for the ship's upkeep, supply, discipline, and (within certain limits) training.
		The primary striking carrier weapons in the United States Navy were the TBF Grumman Avenger, which could be used as a torpedo plane or as a level bomber, and the SDB Douglas Dauntless, a scout and dive bomber.
		The German submarines were defeated by the Royal Navy's battle-scarred escorts and by aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF) Coastal Command under the operational control of the Admiralty.

	Fighting Steel for PC Review - PC Fighting Steel Review
		American, British, Japanese, and German navies are included in the game, and you can command any one of them through a historical or fantasy campaign.
		The rolling, thunderous roar of a battleship's heavy guns, the steely hiss of a torpedo hitting the water, and the groaning of twisted metal on a damaged ship all combine to create a highly immersive atmosphere.
		It's a little disappointing that all ships seem to have the same range of sound effects for their main guns, but the overall effect is still quite impressive.

		The projected battleship Reshadieh was still in the reports for 1915.
		Since the "sale" was obviously spurious and a belligerent warship cannot change her nationality, the Goeben and Breslau are retained in the German Tables.
		On the recommendation of the British Naval Advisor, the 1910 Ottoman Navy prepared a programme of new construction that included six battleships, twelve destroyers, twelve torpedo-boats, six submarines, two mining vessels, two training vessels, twenty-four river gunboats, one hospital ship, and six transports.

		"Battleships of the World", uniquely combines World War 1 and World War 2 Battleships while seperating the ships into their modernized and original forms [as was frequently the case because of the Washington and London Disarmament accords].
		Battlecruisers are faster and often have the same caliber weopens, but Battleships are built to function under conditions that would sink other vessels and how this function is maintained in battle [armor] needs to be included in any reference about these great ships.
		It contains sokme unique photos of minor Navy Battleships and an interesting commentary on German battleships; the book is translated from the German and brings a Non British/American slant to the topic.

		As others have stated, finding a book with extensive stats or storylines on the Bismarck or Iowa is quite easy, but it's very difficult to find good (consistent) material on the minor navies of WWII and thier less-famous warships.
		That the fact that the author for some of the lesser navies or those navies of nations that surrendered to the Axis at the start of the war the listings and review of the class are noticably shorter.
		For example, it described the Bismarch as overrated (built on WWI battleship design concepts); the Hood as outdated (built on pre-WWI w/ Jutland retrofits) but unmodernized; and the Iowa class as the definitive U.S. battleship (best overall).

	Sharlin class Tender / Repair Ship (CAF)
		The Sharlin is radically different than the previous Button class tender and was designed because the Button class is not very well equipped to make repairs on Scimitar class patrol ships.
		Several of the refit of Scimitar class patrol ships to the Long Bow configuration have been done in this ship and a few minor navies have constructed most of their navy inside of these ships.
		In addition to having a bay for ships, the Sharlin class has four bays to refit up to a squadron (12) of small or medium fighters or up to four heavy fighters each bay.

		I asked about the possibility of a "Sea Krieg" (for lack of a better term) a while back, and was told it wasn't planned.
		I'd still like to see it, especially since there's so much data out there for ships (I've managed to get the armor layout for every battleship in WWII, including the minor navies, along with gun information on most battleships).
		It would also add carrier aviation, and I'd like to see what those wacky Germans could come up with after competing the Graf Zeppelin and Peter Strasser or Deutschland (depending on which name ended up actually being used).
