List of battleships

The list of battleships includes all battleships built between c. 1890 and 1946, arranged alphabetically by country. The initial dates of the ships correspond to the launch time, followed by a separation that indicates their retirement or final date.

The boundary between ironclads and the first battleships, the so-called 'pre-dreadnought battleship', is not obvious, as the characteristics of the pre-dreadnought evolved in the period from 1875 to 1895. For the sake of this article a line is drawn around 1890, differing from country to country.

As they can be considered as reduced versions of battleships, coastal defence ships (sometimes also referred to as coastal defence battleships) are included in the list.
