- Turret [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Survivability (naval) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- 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]
- Monitor (naval) [r]: Add brief definition or description
National classes
Germany
- Bismarck-class [r]: Two-ship class of German battleships, optimized for commerce raiding and short Atlantic operations so extremely rugged; 8 x 15" guns with large secondary batteries; KMS Bismarck and KMS Tirpitz [e]
Japan
- Fuso-class [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Ise-class [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Kongo-class battleship [r]: A class of originally British-designed Japanese battleships, the first of which was built in a British shipyard in the 1910s; the class was initially rated as battlecruisers but were upgraded between the wars [e]
- Yamato-class [r]: Largest (71,000 ton) battleship class of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the largest but not necessarily most combat-effective ever built; all sunk in combat by U.S. forces (including IJN Shinano, a Yamato-class hull converted to an aircraft carrier) [e]
