US Capital Ship classes from USS Monitor thru USS Montana (none commissioned). Courtesy of /r/WarshipPorn. Not directly related to Safehold, but I thought you guys over here would appreciate an infographic on the evolution of Capital Ships from the first Ironclads to the last BBs Cheers! |

Seems that they missed "New Ironsides", "Galena", "Dunderbreg" and a few others, Also, "Dictator" seems... strange.

Oh well, if shortening the front is what the Germans crave, Let's shorten it to very end - the length of Fuhrer's grave. (Red Army lyrics from 1945) |

Yes and no. The vessels pictured in the link all share a common feature, ie, turreted main guns. The New Ironsides and Galena were both broadside ships and Dunderberg was an oceangoing casemate ship. Also the Dunderberg never served with the US Navy, its only naval service was with the French navy. |
