Introduction to Four Types of Warships: "What is a Battleship?"

Battleships are designed with defense and firepower as their core concepts, and are the second largest type of warship among the four. In the early stages of World War II, they were the primary source of firepower. Armaments on board: Main Turrets (Caliber approx. 280-460mm) Secondary Turrets (Caliber approx. 120mm-155mm) - Secondary guns are used to attack warships with weak defenses and high speed. Medium Caliber Anti-Aircraft Guns (Caliber approx. 20mm-40mm) Anti-Aircraft Machine Guns The latter two are, as their names suggest, for anti-aircraft purposes. Due to their high defensive capabilities, they are equipped with thick armor, making them very heavy and cumbersome. This is where another type of warship, the "Cruiser," comes into play. Famous battleships include Japan's "Yamato" and the United States' "Missouri."
