{{short description|Wikimedia list article}}Sunken battleships are the wrecks of large capital ships built from the 1880s to the mid 20th century that were either destroyed in battle, mined, deliberately destroyed in a weapons test, or scuttled. The battleship, as the might of a nation personified in a warship, played a vital role in the prestige, diplomacy, and military strategies of 20th century nations. The importance placed on battleships also meant massive arms races between the great powers of the 20th century such as the United Kingdom, the German Empire, Japan, the United States, France, Italy, Nazi Germany, Russia, and Spain. Although the term "battleship" appears to have been coined in 1794,[1] the term first began to see wide usage to describe certain types of ironclad warships in the 1880s,[2] now referred to as pre-dreadnoughts. The commissioning and putting to sea of {{HMS|Dreadnought|1906|6}}, in part inspired by the results of the Battle of Tsushima in May 1905,{{sfn|Breyer|1973|p=115}} marked the dawn of a new era in naval warfare and defining an entire generation of warships: the battleships. This first generation, known as the "Dreadnoughts" (and later Super dreadnoughts), came to be built in rapid succession in Europe, the Americas, and Japan with ever more tension growing between the major naval powers. However, despite the enormous sums of money and resources dedicated to the construction and maintenance of the increasing number of battleships in the world, they typically saw little combat. With the exception of the naval battles of the Russo-Japanese War and Jutland, which would be one of the last large-scale battles between capital ships,[3] no decisive naval battles between battleships were fought. Although only one battleship, {{SMS|Pommern}}, sank at Jutland, the faith placed in decisive naval battles evaporated in Germany in favor of continued warfare by attrition via submarines. When the First World War ended in 1918, much of the German High Seas Fleet was escorted to Scapa Flow, where almost all of the fleet under Ludwig von Reuter was scuttled to prevent its capture by the British. This was a fate shared by numerous other battleships. Between the wars, the Washington Naval Treaty and the subsequent London Naval Treaty limited the tonnage and firepower of capital ships permitted to the navies of the world. The United Kingdom and the United States scrapped many of their aging dreadnoughts, while the Japanese began converting cruisers into fast battleships in the 1930s. In 1936, Italy and Japan refused to sign the Second London Naval Treaty and withdrew from the earlier treaties, prompting the United States and the United Kingdom to invoke an escalator clause in the treaty that allowed them to increase the displacement and armament of planned ships. The naval combat of World War Two saw many battleships belonging to the various nations destroyed as air power began to be realized as being crucial to naval warfare, rather than massive capital ships. As the battleship began to fall out of favor, some captured capital ships were decommissioned, stripped, and deliberately sunk in nuclear weapons tests. The greatest loss of life in the sinking of a battleship was the 3,055 deaths aboard Yamato near Okinawa in 1945.[4] LossesMuch like with battlecruisers, battleships typically sank with large loss of life if and when they were destroyed in battle. The first battleship to be sunk by gunfire alone,{{sfn|Forczyk|2009|p=62}} the {{ship|Russian battleship|Oslyabya}}, sank with half of her crew at the Battle of Tsushima when the ship was pummeled by a seemingly endless stream of Japanese shells striking the ship repeatedly, killing crew with direct hits to several guns, the conning tower, and the water line or below it, which became the cause of the ship's sinking.{{sfn|Forczyk|2009|pp=61–62}}{{sfn|Campbell|1978|pp=128–31}} Battleships also proved to be very vulnerable to mines, as was evidenced in the Russo-Japanese War and both World Wars. After the Battle of Port Arthur,{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=239}} a number of Russian and Japanese vessels were struck by mines and either sank or were scuttled to prevent their capture. A decade later, the Marine Nationale and Royal Navy lost three battleships, {{HMS|Irresistible|1898|6}}, {{HMS|Ocean|1898|6}}, and {{ship|French battleship|Bouvet||2}}, to Turkish mines in the waters of the Dardanelles. Torpedoes also proved to be very capable at sinking the mighty battleship: on November 21, 1944, {{USS|Sealion|SS-315|6}} sank {{Ship|Japanese battleship|Kongō||2}} with over 1200 casualties.{{sfn|Stille|2008|p=10}} {{HMS|Barham|04|6}}, another of the only two British battleships sunk by a submarine during the Second World War,{{efn|There is a case for the number of British-built battleships sunk by submarines being three rather than two, as the Japanese warship Kongō was a British-built battlecruiser reconstructed as a fast battleship.}} was struck by three torpedoes fired from {{GS|U-331}}.{{efn|U-331{{'}}s captain, Oberleutnant zur See Hans-Diedrich von Tiesenhausen, believed that only one of his torpedoes struck Barham.{{sfn|Jones|1979|pp=225–32}} von Tiesenhausen was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross for this action.[4]}} Barham could not make an attempt to dodge the incoming torpedoes and sank with 862 fatalities as a result of several magazine explosions that occurred after she had initially been hit by U-331{{'}}s torpedoes.{{sfn|Jones|1979|pp=258–59}} Although mines and torpedoes constantly threatened the battleship's dominance, it was the refinement of aerial technology and tactics that led to the replacement of the battleship with the aircraft carrier as the most important naval vessel. Initially, the large scale use of aircraft in naval combat was underrated and the idea that they could destroy battleships was dismissed. Still, the United States and the Japanese Empire experimented with offensive roles for aircraft carriers in their fleets.[5] One notable early military science pioneer of aviation in naval role was US Army General Billy Mitchell, who commandeered {{SMS|Ostfriesland}} for testing of his theory in July 1921. Though these tests did not impress his contemporaries, they forced the US Navy to begin diverting some of its budget towards researching the matter further.[6] The belief that the aircraft carrier was junior to the battleship began to evaporate when the Imperial Japanese Navy, in a surprise attack, destroyed nearly the entire United States Pacific Fleet at anchor at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 solely by air power.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=274}} The captain of the {{ship|German battleship|Bismarck||2}}, Ernst Lindemann, had almost dodged the Royal Navy until he was undone by British reconnaissance aircraft. Although almost every sea battle in World War Two involved gunfire between surface warships to some degree,{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=273|ps=: "In the event, World War II did involve a good number of battles in which exchange of gunfire between of gunfire between large surface warships was crucial, or even the sole action, and in most engagements it played at least a part."}} their time as the senior ship of a nation's fleet had run its course. Those battleships belonging to the Central Powers that survived World War I often did not survive its aftermath. The most infamous example of the scuttling of capital ships after the First World War was the incident at Scapa Flow, where German admiral Ludwig von Reuter successfully scuttled 52 of the 74 ships of the High Seas Fleet.{{sfn|Herwig|1980|p=256}} The Austrians too disliked the idea of surrendering their fleet to their enemies, the Italians. On 1 November 1918, as the ship was being transferred to the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, Austrian battleship {{SMS|Viribus Unitis||2}} was mined and sunk at Pola by two Italian frogmen, Raffaele Paolucci and Raffaele Rossetti, unaware of the transfer.[7] Similarly, on 27 November 1942, the Vichy French government scuttled the majority of the French fleet at Toulon. Scuttling a battleship was, repeatedly through history, a last act of defiance against an enemy. By tradition and maritime law, sunken warships remain the property of the government of the nation that owned them, and many are treated as war graves.
