Battleships are just like normal warships such as cruisers or destroyers (not aircraft carriers or submarines). The "ONLY" difference is GUN & ARMOR. Take away the guns and you have an armored ship. Take away the armor (leave the guns) and you have a big cruiser. The definition of a battleship is GUN & ARMOR. Same with Army tanks. The definition of a tank is GUN & ARMOR. Take away the armor and you have a Self-Propelled Gun (Artillery piece). Take away the gun (leave the armor) and you have an Armored Personnel Carrier. The definition of a tank is GUN & ARMOR. Note-the first tanks were designed by a naval architect and were called LANDSHIPS. That is why they have naval terms: Back deck, bow machinegun, turret, main guns (main battery), and hatches The first cannons installed on the "Landships" were naval guns removed from warships. Today's tanks are MBT's-Main Battle Tanks...Battletanks/Battleships; they've come full circle.
