context_page_description: The list of battleships includes all battleships built between c. 1890 and 1946, arranged alphabetically by country. The initial dates of the ships correspond to the launch time, followed by a separation that indicates their retirement or final date.
  The boundary between ironclads and the first battleships, the so-called 'pre-dreadnought battleship', is not obvious, as the characteristics of the pre-dreadnought evolved in the period from 1875 to 1895. For the sake of this article a line is drawn around 1890, differing from country to country.
  As they can be considered as reduced versions of battleships, coastal defence ships are included in the list.
