The term "Capital Ship" has been used by battleship enthusiasts to emphasize the traditional role of big-gun warships in naval affairs. This exhibit explores the origin of the warship and its role in military warfare throughout history.

Suspended in Nauticus' third floor is an actual Pioneer Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) that flew off the fantail of the Battleship Wisconsin during the Persian Gulf War. Real-time video transmitted from cameras aboard Pioneer once enabled Wisconsin sailors to collect vital intelligence and improve the long-range accuracy of the big guns. This exhibit allows visitors to move the camera in this RPV and see what is going on in Nauticus' third floor.

Presented by the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, this exhibit chronicles the life and service of the Battleship Wisconsin and includes vivid photographs, video presentations, and a wide range of artifacts.
