- A type of large, heavily armored warship of the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century armed with heavy-caliber guns, designed to fight other battleships in a line of battle. it was the successor to the ship-of-the-line of the age of sail.
- [1] a sailing ship-of-the-line. [2] the most heavily-armed and armored of power-driven warships (cf. dreadnought).

Dreadnought, английский
- A type of battleship designed with an "all-big-gun" armament layout in which the ship`s primary gun power resided in a primary battery of its largest guns intended for use at long range, with other gun armament limited to small weapons intended for close-range defense against torpedo boats and other small warships. most, but not all, dreadnoughts also had steam turbine propulsion. predominant from 1906, dreadnoughts differed from earlier steam battleships, retroactively dubbed "predreadnoughts", which had only a few large guns, relied on an intermediate secondary battery used at shorter ranges for most of their offensive power, and had triple-expansion steam engines.
- [1] generic term for a battleship. [2] name of a british warship launched in 1906; the first to be heavily armored and carry a battery of uniform caliber heavy guns—a revolutionary design which made all previous battleships obsolete. (said to have been named after the family motto of her sponsor, first sea lord john arbuthnot [jackie] fisher, “fear god and dread nought.”)

Ship-of-the-line, английский
A type of sailing warship constructed from the 1600s through the mid-1800s to serve as part of the line of battle; the largest and most powerful warships of the era.
Battlecruiser, английский
- A type of large capital ship of the first half of the 20th century, similar in size, appearance, and cost to a battleship and typically armed with the same kind of heavy guns, but much more lightly armored (on the scale of cruiser) and therefore faster than a battleship but more vulnerable to damage.
- Heavily-armed but lightly-armored early 20th century class of warship. intended to be fast enough to escape anything more powerful and powerful enough to overcome anything it could catch. the same concept applied to the american super frigates and the german pocket battleships.
