What qualifies a warship as a battleship?
The definition of a "Battleship" is "Gun and Armor." Remove the gun and you have an armored ship. Leave the guns and remove the armor and you have a cruiser. There are exceptions to every rule, but generally modern steel engine powered battleships carried 12" guns during the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Although (exceptions to the rule) some Russian battleships were armed with 10" guns. During WW1 battleships were armed with some exceptions, with 14" guns. World War II was 16" guns (again there were some exceptions; some had 14", some 15", and two had 18" guns). The warships called "Pocket Battleships" generally had 11" guns, and were closer to being Battlecruisers than anything else...but the words "Pocket Battleship" sounded more dangerous and sold more newspapers. US Large Cruisers in WWII (Alaska Class) carried 12" guns. US Heavy Cruisers in WWII carried 8" guns. US Light Cruisers in WWII carried 6" guns. Gun & Armor=Battleship (Same with a tank; Gun & Armor=Tank) Remove the gun and one has an "Armored Personnel Carrier"; leave the gun and remove the armor and you have a Self Propelled Gun (self propelled artillery). Combine the gun and armor and you have a tank.
