U.S.S. Tennessee-Class Armored Cruiser

The American Tennessee-class armored cruisers were large early twentieth-century ships carrying 10-inch and 6-inch guns. They served before the era of modern heavy-cruiser treaties and were later renamed after cities, releasing state names for battleships. The class is therefore distinct from the Tennessee-class battleships, despite the reused name and overlapping period. The change from state to city names can obscure the continuity of individual hulls in historical accounts. Their armored-cruiser role involved distant service, fleet support, and national presence, not the later treaty definition of a heavy cruiser armed with 8-inch guns. The original class name and the subsequent names must be kept distinct when identifying a specific ship.
