Battleship – Part 1 & 2 of a 12 part series on the history of the Battleship, including the intro.

These are copies of what seems to be a documentary from the Discovery Channel on the history of the battleship. I could be wrong and, if wrong, will correct the matter but, to the best of my knowledge this one was done by the Discovery Channel around 2002. ABC and other have similar documentaries and if they have good of differing content I will post them. This being said this is a very good watch if your interested in the most powerful ships to sail the seas. They present a great timeline on the development and evolution of the modern battleships up today when though in moth ball, the mighty Missouri and Iowa lay at ready. Remember they were both once again called back into service during the recent gulf war and, the Missouri fired the first shot of the war in the form of a Tomahawk missile. Once again the mighty 16 inch guns were fired again in anger during this war for the first timer inĀ  50 years since the Korean conflict. I will post all 12 parts two at a time.

Enjoy!
