	Revenge class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Revenge-class battleships were five battleships of the Royal Navy, ordered as World War I loomed on the horizon, and launched in 1914–1916.
		The demise of the Revenge class and others soon after the war showed the advent of the aircraft-carrier as the new Queen of the Seas; though it must be said, the contribution the dreadnoughts made to the Royal Navy's history was immense.
		For subsequent British capital ships, see Renown class battlecruisers that fought in WWI, HMS Hood which was laid down during WWI, the Nelson class of battleships laid down in 1922, the King George V class built before WWII and the world's last battleship, HMS Vanguard.

	Pocket battleships
		The light or pocket battleships were products of the Shalom shipyards and were a blatant tool of the rim worlds for beating the treaty restrictions regarding vessel weights placed upon them to prevent them building standard battleships.
		The heroes of battle class was a compromise between the big guns school and the NC school of thought.
		The grand cruisers were the precursor to the battlecruisers of the modern imperial navy, almost rivalling battleships in the weight of firepower they could lay down and their ability to absorb punishment.

	THE COURBET CLASS
		The Normandie class of battleships were cancelled by the Washington Naval Limitations Treaty. Only one ships of this line was built, the Bearn, but it served as an unsuccessful aircraft carrier.
		The Richelieu class of battleships was the most powerful class of French battleships built. Only one of these ships managed to escape the fall of France and exact revenge upon its enemies.
		The Alsace class of battleships were, unfortunately, never built by the French. These ships were to have been more heavily armed and armored than the Richelieu class. But with the Germans taking over France, all plans to build this ship were halted.

	Dreadnought
		Only 3 of the American and only 2 of the Japanese battleships would be finished, many old ships would be scrapped by Britain and the United States, and Britain would be allowed to build 2 new battleships to make up for the age of her remaining ships.
		Battleships missed their chance for many surface actions because they were being held back for the more "serious" fleet actions that never occurred.
		Of the earlier class of ships, the France had been lost in 1922, the Courbet and Paris escaped to Britain in 1940, and the Jean Bart, renamed Océan, was scuttled in Toulon in 1942 when the Germans moved to occupy all of France.

	Royal Navy
		Three of the class were struck by submarine torpedo's during the war but only the Royal Oak, hit by at least two, was sunk.
		This class of five reverted to a smaller 14-in calibre main battery because the Londen Navel Conference of 1936 limited the standard displacement of individual battleships to 35,000 tons.
		First of this class, Triton, was completed in October 1937 and, while only 2 more had been completed by the outbreak of war, numbers thereafter rapidly increased.

	The Battle of Leyte Gulf
		Two Iowa Class battleships were there – the Iowa and the New Jersey.
		Boasting nearly a dozen fleet aircraft carriers, and six of the fastest battleships in the world (including the Iowa and New Jersey) and led by Bull Halsey, the Third Fleet was not afraid of an engagement with the Japanese.
		And even heavy cruisers and battleships engaged in classic fleet surface actions – fought in the same battle line actions of centuries ago, and probably for the last time ever.

	Battleship Massachusetts at Battleship Cove.
		Like all modern battleships, USS Massachusetts was designed to engage and destroy enemy capital ships in decisive gun battles with her main battery: nine 16" guns mounted in three triple-turrets.
		However, such opportunities were few and far between, and battleships were assigned other important duties such as bolstering air defense for carriers and bombarding enemy shore fortifications in preparation for amphibious landings.
		While the guns were the same in the North Carolina and South Dakota class battleships, the turret armor in the latter was thicker.

	Battleship Potemkin DVD Review
		A 20th-anniversary tribute to the 1905 revolution, Eisenstein portrays the revolt in microcosm with a dramatization of the real-life mutiny aboard the battleship Potemkin.
		The story tells a familiar party-line message of the oppressed working class (in this case the enlisted sailors) banding together to overthrow their oppressors (the ship's officers), led by proto-revolutionary Vakulinchuk.
		When he dies in the shipboard struggle the crew lays his body to rest on the pier, a moody, moving scene where the citizens of Odessa slowly emerge from the fog to pay their respects.

	Lucrehulk-class battleship - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		When the Trade Federation began creating its military, the Executive Board realized the need for large cruisers to transport their weapons across the Galaxy, battleships to defend against starfighter attacks and flagships for controlling their vast legions of battle droids.
		The Trade Federation used a substantial fleet of Lucrehulk-class battleships to enforce the blockade of Naboo, led by the flagship Saak'ak.

		As was usual, the battleships were escorted by destroyers, and from the upper deck of the Revenge these escorts seemed to disappear periodically in the rolling swell of the sea.
		The Revenge went to Corsica, where the highlight of the visit was Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon.
		We steamed round to Margate, where the Revenge was at anchor, just in time to see a light aeroplane crash into the water as we were adjacent to it.

	Sheffield Class Type 42 Destroyers
		The principle role of the Sheffield Class Type 42 destroyers is to provide area air defence for a task force and since their introduction into service they have constituted the fleet's principle anti-air warfare capability.
		After the abandoning of the CVA fleet carrier replacement programme in the 1960s, the requirement for a class of large escorts- the Type 82 Destroyers- ceased to exist and only one unit, Bristol, was completed.
		The four batch 3 ships- often referred to as the 'Manchester Class'- are some seven metres longer than the rest of the class and hence are known as 'stretched'.

		In February 1898, the U.S. battleship Maine, in Havana harbor as a symbol of American interest in the Cuban events, was destroyed by-a mysterious explosion and sank, with the loss of 268 men.
		There was no evidence ever produced on the cause of the explosion, but excitement grew swiftly in the United States, and McKinley began to move in the direction of war.
		A rumor too absurd to be believed, General, describes the reason of your measures and of the orders forbidding my army to enter Santiago for fear of massacres and revenge against the Spaniards.

	Nelson Class Battleship
		The Nelson Class of ships were developed in the 2270's as part of the fleet build up in response to the increased tensions that would eventually lead to the 3rd Rio Plato War.
		The prime concern at the time was to replace the ageing, obsolete Vanguard Class of warships that were becoming embarrassingly decrepit and unable to perform their designated role.
		At this stage of the battle the USS Columbia was deeply engaged in its legendary duel with 'Triumphant Destiny's' 'Ecstasy of Struggle'.

		The fifth Ramillies, a battleship of 14,150 tons, was built in 1892 and sold out of the service in 1913.
		The Revenge Class battleship probably saw a harder and more varied service than any of her predecessors, and it is fitting that she carried the crest of the Marlborough family with its motto:-

		Revenge-class battleship guns with 15-inch bores and weighing 100 tons each guard the entrance to this former lunatic asylum, Bethlem Royal Hospital, or Bedlam, now a museum of 20th-century wars in which more than 100 million people have died.
		The gallery is constructed around the gray metallic replica of the bow of a Tribal class destroyer that soars to the height of the cavernous hall and stretches for almost the room's length of 162 feet.
		Next to the audio-visual area is a modern "Ops Room" from a Type 22 frigate, allowing visitors to become the captain and defend the ship against an underwater threat or an air attack using sonar, radar and gunnery on computer terminals.

	Chaos Executrix Class Fleet Carrier
		During his reign of terror in the far western quadrant of the Ultima Segmentus, Warmaster Brutus was unlucky enough to encounter one of the Battlefleet's newest additions: a Nemesis-class Fleet Carrier.
		Brutus' fleet was badly routed, and only his Desolator Battleship and a handful of capital ships survived the engagement.
		Brutus recalled his forces and let them lick their wounds whilst he worked his ratings (sometimes literally) to death on the completion of his newest battleship.

	Battleship Potemkin - DVD
		Stylistically, The Battleship Potemkin serves as a revolutionary film, not only in its subject matter, but also in its unique use of montage.
		The power of "BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN" is maximized and dramatized to amplify the impact of the historical incident by balancing a docu-drama like realism with a shrewd orchestration of visually graphic images and timely editing.
		For instance, depictions of a Russian Orthodox priest aboard the Battleship Potemkin, supporting the officers who were about to slaughter the crewmen that refused to eat the maggot infested meat was not to be believed.
