HISTORY | The Maine-class Battleships were the first American battleships with 18" guns. The Maine class originated as the Tilman Battleship, but that honor was bestowedto the President-class. Still, it exedes the limits to pass through the Panama Canal. All but the USS Nebraska are to be kept in the Pacific at all times. |
