Glad the USS Texas made the list. She's being restored right now and so far looks awesome with her new paint.

Famous Confederette monitor:
CSS AISomali's, attempting to board by using grappling hooks, laughed so hard that they could not hang on . . . and gave up.
At the Pentagon, the ship is known as "The Floating Ballot Box."

Macho,
Thanks, now I’m going to listen to “Sink the Bismarck” by Johnny Horton.(Liked it as kid in the 1970’s)
“In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees.........”

...During the Second World War, USS Washington scored the sole one-on-one battleship kill... A worthy one for the list. Washington's action in the naval battle of Guadalcanal is the nearest thing to a Jutland-style surface battle seen in WWII. Willis Lee's ship didn't just decisively defeat Kirishima, she landed twenty 16" shells on target in mere minutes. Kirishima was out of the fight after the first broadside hit.

Yes he was. Good movie. And although it didn’t involve a battleship, I like “The enemy below” starring Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens.

“The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea”
The Iowa class was capable of faster speeds. The New Jersey had a sustained run at almost 32 knots.
Our aircraft carriers were even faster.

The USS Texas was used in WW 1 and WW 2. During the Normandy landings, it’s 14 inch guns were used to suppress the Germans. At one point, the Texas’ captain ordered the ballast tanks on the seaward side to be flooded to list the ship in order to elevate the gun barrels. The purpose was to give the guns further range.

Tirpitz fired its guns in anger one time at an island. It spent the rest of its existence hiding out in Norwegian fjords.
