Probably the most famous of the Iowa-class battleships, and maybe even the most famous battleship in the world, USS Missouri is an American icon. She fought in WWII, the Korean war, and the Gulf war. From her bulbous bow to her huge 16"/50 caliber mark 7 guns, she has an impressive silhouette. With a top speed of 33 knots (around 40 MPH), she (along with her sister ships) is the fastest battleship in the world. Her guns, nicknamed the Long Nines, weigh 239,000 pounds (without the breech) up to 267,900 pounds (with breech), and fired 2,700 pound 16" shells. She still exists today, in the form of a museum ship in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

USS Porter DDG-78 is a rustbucket shithole of a US Navy vessel that is currently homeported in Norfolk, Va. Is known for having a corrupt chain of command, rampant fraternization, more broken equipment than working equipment, and an extremely low level of morale. If you ever see this ship, feel sorry for those who are stationed there, and thank God that you are not.

USS Maine was an armored cruiser of the US Navy. The ship was ordered in 1886, and due to various construction delays it took 9 years before the ship was commissioned, by which time she was obsolete. In 1898 she was sent to Havana Harbor to protect American interests in Spanish Cuba, where she suddenly exploded in the middle of the night. This was almost certainly caused by an ammunition fire or powder explosion, but the media immediately began claiming it was a Spanish torpedo or naval mine or saboteur. Through wild exaggerations, and often completely fabricated information, they whipped up a storm of anti-Spanish war-lust. They turned the USS Maine’s explosion into a catalyst for the Spanish American War, which began two months later.
