"...You sunk my battleship..." is often used as an expression of defeat, or acceptance that the opponent is harder to defend against than percieved to be at first encounter.

The last class of battleship built for the United States Navy, and the absolute pinnacle of battleship technology. Originally, six were planned (USS Illinois and USS Kentucky), however due to aircraft carriers taking over the role of flagship from the battleship, both were cancelled and scrapped. Four were completed: USS Iowa (BB-61), USS New Jersey (BB-62), USS Missouri (BB-63), and USS Wisconsin (BB-64). Those four battleships, still afloat today as museums, are among the most highly decorated warships in the US Navy, and even the world, for good reason. The Iowa-class have served in WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and in the Cold War against the expanded Soviet Navy.
The main armament of the Iowa-class is their 16-inch/50 caliber Mark 7 naval rifles, capable of firing a shell up to 27 miles away. They are also armed with numerous CIWS systems, 5-inch dual purpose guns as secondaries, and even Tomahawk missiles. Their armor is also impressive: It was designed to take hits from the Japanese Yamato-class battleships, which fired 18.1-inch shells, so you can imagine how tough it is. As said above, all are currently museum ships, but at least two are ready to be recommissioned at any time the US needs these gunships.

''Pft, the Iowa-class battleship would annihilate the Yamato-class any day! Based American FCS over optical sights!''
''Erm, you do know that the Yamato-class also had radar, right?''
''Yes, but not the radar American ships had!''

When you have a blue-vein throbber and then the object of your affection says or does something that makes you go flaccid.
I was dancing with this super-hot guy, then we started making out, but he sank my battleship once he tried to make an attempt at meaningful conversation.

What a player yells after getting their ass bombed in the popular 80s boardgame "Battleship."
This was a game with opposing players holding a fleet of ships on a grid. Each turn one player would call out a coordinate to the other player. If there was a hit on a vessel, the player would mark it with a red peg, once the vessel's holes were filled (some had 2, some has as many as 5) the ship was considered destroyed and sunk. This continued unitl one player's fleet was destroyed.
Fun!

The non sequitur, and repeated punchline from a Simpsons episode, though from the normal UD definition for battleship, it could easily mean something vulgar.

A woman is floating naked in a pool with her eyes closed. Her man (also naked) goes inside the house and shoves a firework up his ass. He then lites it and runs back to the pool. He sneaks in the pool and lays flat and still. He takes a massive shit in the pool. As the turd exits his asshole, the firework propels the turd under the water straight at the woman, hopefully hitting a hole of his choice. Upon arrival, the man’s torpedo explodes in her, giving her an unforgettable orgasm.
Hey Baxter, can you place another order of mortars for me, I am getting low from my bitches getting so many California Battleships lately.
