List of battleships

The list of battleships includes all battleships built between the late 1880s and 1946, beginning roughly with the first pre-dreadnought battleships, which are usually defined as the British Royal Sovereign class or Majestic class. Dreadnoughts and fast battleships are also included. Earlier armored capital ships (built between the 1850s and 1880s) are found at the list of ironclads, along with the list included at coastal defence ship.

Cancelled ships that began construction are included, but projects that were not laid down, such as the French Lyon class, or were purely design studies, like the German L 20e α-class, are not included.
