The "problem" is see is that if a Battleship is considered "modern" then someone mind think that is is concurrent with "modern" tanks. Unless you intended for a modern tank to be a WWII era tank.
Maybe late model or post-Dreadnought Battleship or just plain Battleship would be better?

The phrase "modern" as applying to a battleship was just to differentiate it from those made in the Age of Sail, just like the "modern" designator applies to a wide range of weapons and armors which originated anywhere in the last hundred or so years.
