- Ship_of_the_line abstract "A ship of the line was a type of naval warship constructed from the 17th through to the mid-19th century to take part in the naval tactic known as the line of battle, in which two columns of opposing warships would manoeuvre to bring the greatest weight of broadside guns to bear. Since these engagements were almost invariably won by the heaviest ships carrying the most powerful guns, the natural progression was to build sailing vessels that were the largest and most powerful of their time.[citation needed]From the end of the 1840s, the introduction of steam power brought less dependence on the wind in battle and led to the construction of screw-driven — but wooden-hulled — ships of the line; a number of pure sail-driven ships were converted to this propulsion mechanism. However, the introduction of the ironclad frigate in about 1859 led swiftly to the decline of the steam-assisted ships of the line. The ironclad warship became the ancestor of the 20th-century battleship, whose very designation is itself a contraction of the phrase "ship of the line of battle" or — more colloquially — "line-of-battle ship".The term "ship of the line" has fallen into disuse, as the ship classes filling the traditional role (battleships and dreadnoughts) have been discontinued in modern navies in favor of surface ships with better stand-off weaponry (such as guided missile cruisers and aircraft carriers). The term is sometimes used to refer to any military vessel of sufficient size and armament to participate in a direct naval confrontation; that is, to "hold the line". The term is also seen in science fiction, referring to spacecraft of large size and armament commissioned as warships, as opposed to more peaceful endeavors.".
