The Battleship (English for battleship ) is a 5 km long massif in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Royal Society Range , it looms between the Rotunda Glacier and the Blankenship Glacier , two side glaciers of the Ferrar Glacier .

The New Zealand Geographic Board named the massif descriptively in 1994, as its shape resembles the superstructure and foredeck of a battleship.
