United States battleships, past & present (Confederacy and Continental Navy are both fine)
USS Arizona
Okay, Jespah, I'm 'googling' my behind off & I can't find a 'b' battleship! Do you know one?! Can we widen the category a bit to anything having to do with US Battleships, etc?
I found: Bath Iron Works and Bethlehem Steel, makers of battleships, but no US 'b' ship! or Battle-cruisers? Battles? Most ships, it looks to me, were named after states - at least in WWII.
Wow. At least I know more about the subject than before you chose the topic!
Eek, looks like there are no Bs (man, I really shouldn't be picking the subjects, eh? :-D). Here's a good site:

Well, if you want to construe "battleship" broadly, to mean all U.S. Navy ships (not just those that the Navy actually classifies as "battleships"), then you could have the USS Bonhomme Richard, which is considered an "amphibious assault ship" (and which, of course, is named after John Paul Jones's ship).

Works, for me, Bree! But maybe we should ask Jespah. (and Jespah, I think we can work with it - I found some good sites myself.)
USS California, USS Choctaw, USS Colorado... will that do?!
Sure, any US Navy ship works for me (actually, I had in mind ships w/o state names, so this works out perfectly).
Cool! Psssst! Jespah, got an answer for 'D'?
Now if you'd only NOT been nationalistic and asked for battleships in general HMS Dreadnought would have been at your disposal, but as it is....
Yes, British ones too, please!
HMSs Exeter, Edinburgh
I'm sure Jespah wouldn't mind. I like us international much better!
