Question,

What does the BB abreviation mean aside from Battleship? What does the second B indicate?

Thank You. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.135.97.170 (talk • contribs) 17:21, 16 March 2006

Take a look at Hull classification symbol. It used to be just B, however at some point ship classifications moved to a two letter system. I don't think it means anything. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 21:10, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
