In Starship classification, Battleships are a type of large and powerful warship. In traditional terms, battleships are the most powerfully armed and most heavily armored warships of their era. It is likely that the designation still is true among starships, although standards may vary by species and technological level.


Examples of Battleships

The D'deridex class most likely are battleships, but are are never referred to as such. Instead they are labelled "warbirds" along with other Romulan warships. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")


The Galaxy class are never referred to as battleships outside of alternate futures(TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise,""All Good Things..."). It is unlikely that Starfleet would use such millitaristic labels for any of their starship types, opting for politically correct terminology such as "tactical cruiser for warships such as the USS Prometheus(VOY: "Message in a Bottle")." In any case, the Galaxy class starships are referred to as "explorers," at least while configured for exploration.
