In 1883 the Brazilian Navy took delivery of the Battleship Riachuelo – a coastal pre-dreadnought of 5,029 tons and four nine-inch guns. All of a sudden Brazil had the most powerful navy in the Western Hemisphere. The US responded with the experimental coastal defense Battleships USS Maine and USS Texas. This is the same approach the Imperial German Navy had gone through about two decades earlier. The list of US Battleships end with the USS Wisconsin (BB-64), the last commissioned US Battleship. For reference, and to avoid gaps and confusion, the list includes the names and hull numbers of canceled ships as well. The years listed refer to first year of commission.
