- South Dakota-class [r]: A four-ship class of 35,000 ton U.S. Navy battleship begun just before the Second World War; more compact and better protected than the preceding North Carolina-class, but had the same main battery of nine 16"-45 caliber MK 6 naval guns in triple turrets [e]
- Iowa-class [r]: The last class of battleships deployed by any navy; these were United States Navy vessels launched during WWII and played a role in anti-air warfare and naval gunfire support; later conversions kept them in use as missile-launching platforms; all 4 retired [e]
- Montana-class [r]: A cancelled class of U.S. battleships, slower and more heavily gunned and armored than the Iowa-class [e]
- Battlecruiser [r]: A large warship with guns comparable to those of a battleship, equal or greater speed, but less armor; "can catch what it can kill and run away from what can kill it"; had disastrous experiences when fighting true battleships [e]
- Command of the sea [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cruiser [r]: While definitions vary with time and doctrine, a large warship capable of acting independently, as a flagship, or a major escort; capabilities include anti-air warfare, anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, land attack, and possibly ballistic missile defense [e]
