LINER, or LINE OF BATTLE

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 728 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LINER, or LINE OF BATTLE S111r, the name formerly given to a vessel considered large enough to take
part
  in a naval battle. The practice of distinguishing between vessels fit, and those not fit, to " lie in a line of battle," arose towards the end of the 17th
century
 . In the early 18th
century
  all vessels of 5o guns and upwards were considered fit to lie in a line. After the Seven Years' War (175663) the 50-gun ships were rejected as too small. When the
great
  revolutionary wars broke out the smallest line of battle ship was of 64 guns. These also came to be considered as too small, and later the line of battle-ships began with those of 74 guns. The
term
  is now replaced by " battleship "; " liner " being the colloquial name given to the
great
  passenger ships used on the main lines of sea transport.
