U.S. Maine-class Pre-Dreadnought

The American Maine class was a group of pre-dreadnought battleships completed in the early twentieth century. Their mixture of heavy main guns and secondary batteries reflected naval design before HMS Dreadnought changed the standard for new battleships. They served in the expanding United States fleet and belonged to the era of the Great White Fleet’s international demonstration of American naval reach. The class is distinct from the earlier USS Maine destroyed at Havana in 1898.

Pre-dreadnought fleets carried several gun calibers and differed from the all-big-gun concept that followed. Those older ships could still perform useful service after a new generation had overtaken them as first-line battle-fleet designs.
