A battleship is a large armored warship with a main battery consisting of heavy caliber guns. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries the battleship was the most powerful type of warship, and a fleet of battleships was vital for any nation that desired to maintain command of the sea.
The word battleship was coined around 1794 and is a contraction of the phrase line-of-battle ship, the dominant wooden warship during the Age of Sail. The term came into formal use in the late 1880s to describe a type of ironclad warship, now referred to by historians as pre-dreadnought battleships. In 1906, the commissioning of HMS Dreadnought heralded a revolution in battleship design. Following battleship designs, influenced by HMS Dreadnought, were referred to as "dreadnoughts".
Battleships were a symbol of naval dominance and national might, and for decades the battleship was a major factor in both diplomacy and military strategy. The global arms race in battleship construction began in Europe, following the 1890 publication of Alfred Thayer Mahan's The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660–1783. This arms race culminated at the decisive Battle of Tsushima in 1905; the outcome of which significantly influenced the design of HMS Dreadnought. The launch of Dreadnought in 1906 commenced a new naval arms race which was widely considered to have been an indirect cause of World War I. The Naval Treaties of the 1920s and 1930s limited the number of battleships, though technical innovation in battleship design continued. Both the Allies and the Axis powers deployed battleships during World War II.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries the battleship was the most powerful type of warship, and a fleet of battleships was vital for any nation which desired to maintain command of the sea. During World War II, aircraft carriers overtook battleships in power projection. Some battleships remained in service during the Cold War and the last were decommissioned in the 1990s.

U.S. BATTLESHIP FIRING! Guns in ACTION for the FINAL TIME! In early 1991, the United States Navy Iowa-class battleship, USS Wisconsin (BB-64), fired her mighty 16 inch guns for the last time. This was a most auspicious occasion because this massive ship had served commendably in three wars – World War II, Korean War and Gulf War – since her commissioning on April 16, 1944. (She now serves as a 'museum ship' where she is berthed adjacent to Nauticus, the National Maritime Center in Norfolk, Virginia.) The Iowa-class battleships were a class of 'fast battleships' ordered by the USN in 1939 & 1940 to escort the Fast Carrier Task Forces that would operate in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Four were completed. The music featured at the start of the video – called “Apocalyptic War” – ...

I'm ready to gloom, I'm ready to go
Got Madonna blaring out the stereo
And wonderbread says he's beautiful
I wonder why I drive to this waxwork show.
'Cause I'm a mystic, I'm a superqueen,
I use up all my gasoline.
I'm a walking cemetery
So many dead things inside of me.
Scene doors open to the doe-eyed boys
Pincushions fluffed with steroids
These Hollywood-made androids
They've got some steel but do they got a voice.
Jealous mind makes jealous things come true.
Think Alexander the Great is coming through
So I better head to the bathroom
Before I meet the ensuing doom.
And when I look in the mirror
I know I'm not alone.
I've got an army of me
But I have no control
And I'm stuck at this party
With a thirty year-old
He makes stars
Just flame me, flame me, flame me.
There's a battleship inside of me
It creaks and moans in apology
For all the sick shit done in vanity
For this cult of masculinity.
But I'm a mystic, I'm a superqueen
I use up all my gasoline.
I'm a walking cemetery
So many dead men inside of me.
Can somebody tell me why the
Butch hate the belles?
When we've got plenty of Baptists
Coveting our souls to hell.
Too many wars, too many gay etiquette laws
Find your cause.
Stop throwing their mud
Indoors.
I'm ready to gloom, I'm ready to go
Got Madonna blaring out the stereo
And wonderbread says he's beautiful
I wonder why I drive to this waxwork show.
'Cause I'm a mystic, I'm a superqueen,
I use up all my gasoline.
I'm a walking cemetery
