Florida-Class Battleship

The American Florida-class battleships were early dreadnoughts armed with 12-inch guns. They entered service before the First World War, when capital-ship design was changing rapidly. USS Florida served with the American battleship division attached to the British Grand Fleet. The class’s later history included modernization and the restrictions imposed by interwar naval treaty agreements. The class belonged to the rapid prewar sequence in which navies increased gun power and protection in successive designs. Even ships considered modern at commissioning could soon appear modest beside later super-dreadnoughts. Their usefulness in the First World War came from fleet organization and readiness as well as from comparisons with the latest battleship specifications.
