Well, according to some, including Max Newhart's book on American Battleships the USS Maine was really our first Battleship. She was first christened the ACR-1 but later designated as a Second Class Battleship. Though some argue it was really an armored Cruiser.
But, I'll stick to the Maine anyway.
