Battleship

History:

The capital ship of the navies of the world from about 1860 until 1943. Battleships were designed to combine large size, the most powerful guns, the best armor and underwater protection, fairly high speed and great cruising radius with general seaworthiness. Before the advent of aircraft carriers they were the largest fighting ships afload. the type was superseded as the capital ship by the Carrier because the carrier's planes could discharge their bombs against an enemy at a distance of about 300 nautical miles, as it was done with considerable effect in the Pacific during World War II. For a better part of the century Great Britain was pre-eminent in this field. It completed its first battleship, the "Warrior", in 1861. Although the "Warrior" was not at the time discovered as the first battleship, Great Britain completed a sister ship called "Black Prince" and these two ships with the French "Glorie" and "Couronne" were the first battleships in the world. "Dreadnought" was the first all-big-gun battleship, this ship was also build by Great Britain. After World War II no nation built or planned to build any new battleships, but the type had played such an important role in world history for nearly a century that interest in it continued. In FreeCiv battleships cannot carry units.
