The list of battleships includes all battleships built between 1859 and 1946, listed alphabetically. 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.
Maine and Texas were part of the "New Navy" program of the 1880s. Texas and BB-1 to BB-4 were authorized as "coast defense battleships", but Maine was ordered as an armored cruiser and was only re-rated as a "second class battleship" when she turned out too slow to be a cruiser.
A large majority of the ships named for states are battleships (BB), followed by submarines (SSN, SSBN & SSGN). The remainder are cruisers (ACR & CGN), monitors (BM) and patrol craft (SP) and an amphibious transport dock (LPD). As of March 2021, thirty-seven ships currently in commission are named after US states and one is named after a territory.

As was standard for capital ships of the period, the Maine-class battleships carried two 18 in (457 mm) torpedo tubes, submerged in her hull on the broadside. [3] They were initially equipped with the Mark II Whitehead design, which carried a 140-pound (64 kg) warhead and had a range of 800 yards (730 m) at a speed of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph).
In general, labels for ships of a single class are aligned vertically with the topmost ship in a column carrying the class name. In an attempt to show the full timeline of the actual existence of each ship, the final dates on each bar may variously be the date struck, sold, scrapped, scuttled, sunk as a reef, etc., as appropriate to show last time it existed as a floating object.
