rdfs:label	South Dakota-class battleship
rdfs:comment	The South Dakota-class battleship was a class of four battleships used by the United States Navy prior to and during World War II. They were the second class of battleships to be named after the 40th State, the first designed in the 1920s and cancelled under the terms of the Washington Treaty. They were arguably the best battleships in the US Navy at that time, being faster and better protected than the preceding North Carolina-class battleships.
