Charles Martel was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the French Navy, built in the 1890s and completed in 1897.

She was one of five similar battleships commissioned in response to a major British naval expansion.

While all five ships followed the same basic design, their architects were allowed to make certain variations.

Like her half-sisters, Carnot, Jauréguiberry, Bouvet, and Masséna, Charles Martel was equipped with a main battery of two 305 mm (12 in) guns and two 274 mm (10.8 in) guns.

The ship could reach a top speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph).

The Type 23 torpedo boats, officially designated Torpedoboot 1923, were a small but formidable class of vessels built during Germany’s quiet naval rearmament in the interwar years.

Just six of these sleek, fast ships were constructed, each one named after a bird of prey, names like Albatros, Falke, and this one, the Greif.

They were built by several major German shipyards, including AG Vulcan Stettin and Deschimag, and were launched between 1926 and 1928

The battleship HMS Revenge, leadship of her class of superdreadnought, at sea in 1940.

The Revenge class battleships were intended to be slightly smaller, more economical versions of the Queen Elizabeth class. This reduction in cost was largely achieved by reducing the size of the powerplant. Naturally this came with a decrease in speed and the Revenge class were designed to reach speeds of about 21 knots. This was slower than the Queen Elizabeth class that proceeded them by roughly 2 knots (The QE class failed to hit their intended top speed of 25 knots, instead making about 23.9 knots at the very best). However, the Revenge class had some advantages such as better protection due to a revised armor scheme that covered more of the hull and the armor decks.

Overall, they were extremely effective battleships given their economical design. A battleship designed to win a war.

June 18, 1943, and USS Oklahoma (BB-37) is nearly level, but moderately down by the stern. At this point patching the catastrophically damaged port side was beginning in earnest. It would take several more months before she was refloated. ⚓
