I've made a series of edits to this article; some minor and mundane (linking to ship articles, fixing typos, unencyclopedic section headers, etc.) to correcting factually incorrect or removing irrelevant statements.
For example, the entry on the German battle(ship/cruiser) had several incorrect statements; first, the ships were armed with 11" guns because Versailles stipulated that only one 15" gun could be made per year. That they were intended to be armed with 15" guns when enough became available should be enough to dispel the myth that they were built in the tradition of the Imperial German battlecruisers, sacrificing main guns for speed. Also, it states that most naval historians classify them as BCs, this is incorrect. Janes ('46-'47 edition, as well as the '96 edition) labels them as battleships, as does William H. Garzke's Battleships: Axis and Neutral Battleships in World War II (1985).
Also, no battlecruisers were built under Roosevelt's tenure. Regardless, even if he did insist on them, none were built and subsequently sunk or scuttled, so it's irrelevant to this list. The same holds true for the Soviets under Stalin. Parsecboy23:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's the first I've seen on FDR being keen on BCs. Given the amount of time he was running the country and the number of BCs which entered construction (0) it seems unlikely. The Alaska class cruisers seem to have been a concept developed by the USN. --Nick Dowling09:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
