That seems to list a bunch of destroyers and other vessels, but not "battleships".

Probably the tweeter was just using that term colloquially, like "ship of war", rather than as a classification of size and function.

Ah, you all are correct. Thanks for the correction, will use the correct term going forward.

I think you're just surrounded by pedants ;) I think the modern, politically correct term is just "pewpewboat™"
