Liste der Schlachtschiffe und Schlachtkreuzer
Diese Liste der Schlachtschiffe und Schlachtkreuzer umfasst alle von 1905 bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs nach dem Muster der HMS Dreadnought als „All-big-gun“-Schiff erbauten Schlachtschiffe und Schlachtkreuzer sowie vergleichbare Schiffe des gleichen Zeitabschnitts.
Die Liste enthält folgende Schiffstypen:
- D – Dreadnought: Schlachtschiffe mit acht bis vierzehn schweren Geschützen und starkem Panzerschutz, aber vergleichsweise moderater Geschwindigkeit.
- BC – Battlecruiser: Schlachtkreuzer mit sechs bis zwölf schweren Geschützen, mit geringerem Panzerschutz, aber höherer Geschwindigkeit als Schlachtschiffe.
- B – Battleship: Schnelle Schlachtschiffe mit acht bis zehn schweren Geschützen, starkem Panzerschutz und hoher Geschwindigkeit; mit diesem Schiffstyp wurden Schlachtschiff und Schlachtkreuzer zusammengeführt.
- C – Coastal defence ship: die skandinavischen und thailändischen Küstenpanzerschiffe, die als für den küstennahen Einsatz verkleinerte Schlachtschiffe angesehen werden können.
- AC – Armoured cruiser: die deutschen „Panzerschiffe“ der 1930er Jahre, die aufgrund der Restriktionen des Versailler Vertrags entstanden, und Schwere Kreuzer mit einer älteren Schlachtschiffen ebenbürtigen Artillerie darstellen.
- LC – Large cruiser: die Schiffe der amerikanischen Alaska-Klasse; sehr große Kreuzer mit der Bewaffnung eines Schlachtschiffs.
Hinweise zur Liste
Nicht in der Liste aufgeführt sind Schiffe, die nicht vollendet bzw. nicht in Dienst gestellt wurden.

- Es ist das Jahr des Stapellaufs angegeben. Das Jahr der ersten Indienststellung weicht meist davon ab.
- Als „Dienstende“ wird das Jahr genannt, in dem das Schiff seinen aktiven Dienst für das jeweilige Eignerland beendet hat.
- Der „Schiffstyp“ ergibt sich aus obiger Aufzählung.
- Das „Schicksal“ des Schiffes bezeichnet den Grund für die Beendigung des aktiven Dienstes oder dessen weiters Schicksal. Dies kann sein:
- A – abgewrackt oder zur Abwrackung verkauft
- B – durch Fliegerbombe zerstört

Recommissioned for Vietnam, the New Jersey (BB-62) was little modified. She is shown off Oahu, Hawaii, 11 September 1968. Although she appears festooned with radio antennas, in fact her communication suit was extremely austure. It symbolized a key problem of the reserve fleet. Communication equipment changes relativley rapidly. Ships otherwise quite usable may be entirely unable to communicate with more modern craft unless they are given entirely new radio systems. The other major modification was for self defense: an early version of SHORTSTOP, a combination jammer and chaff-launcher. The ULQ-6B jammer was located in the box atop her foremast, its antennas projecting out on both sides. When the New Jersey was refitted again in 1981-82, the box was retained as a base for a new SLQ-32 system. It was not particularly conveient, and the other refitted battleships have a more streamlined ECM housing.
The New Jersey had been laid up with her 40mm mounts in place. All were removed when she was recommissioned, but the foreward gun tubs (on the 01 level), painted white, were used by the crew as swimming pools. Note that the ship retained her old (and quite obsolescent) SPS-12 air-search radar.Dieses Bild lässt sich leicht mit einem Rahmen versehen

Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano in Tokyo Bay during her sea trials. At the time the photo was taken, she was conducting steering tests, which is the reason the ship has a slight heel in this shot. A civilian, Marine engineer Hiroshi Arakawa, took the photo while he was aboard a tugboat which was also undergoing trials. At some point he presented a single print of this shot to the president of the company that owned the tugboat; in turn, the president gave it to Shizo Fukui. Later on, it was given to Walter Chesneau, who held it up to at least 1987.[1]

Die erste Probefahrt des 1937 vom Stapel gelaufenen italienischen 35.000 t Schlachtschiffes "Littorio" im November 1939. Scherl: "Littorio" Italiens neuestes 35.000 Tonnen Schlachtschiff in Dienst gestellt Nach einer Rekordbauzeit von 1 1/2 Jahren wurde mit einer militärischen Feier in Genua das 35.000 Tonnen Schlachtschiff "Littorio" den Marinebehörden übergeben und in den aktiven Verband der italienischen Kriegsflotte eingereiht. Dieses neue Schiff bildet mit drei Schwesterschiffen gleicher Grösse die stärksten Einheiten der italienischen Kriegsflotte, die das Kräfteverhältnis der Mittelmeer-Seemächte erheblich zu Gunsten Italiens verschieben. Die Bestückung des Schiffes besteht aus neun 38,1 cm-Geschützen, zwölf 15,2 cm-Geschützen, einer starken Flak-Abwehr aus zwölf 9 cm-Geschützen und 40 Fla-MGs, zwei Katapult-Einrichtungen und drei Bordflugzeugen. U.B. zeigt das neue italienische Schlachtschiff "Littorio".
