Montana Class Battleship. Had to go to Wiki to get the name but knew it was one up from the Iowa class. At least that is what I think it is.

I think the Yamato and Musashi were the most beautiful battleships ever.

They did not perform particularly well, mostly because they never really got the chance.

I’ve seen sketches of the Montanas but never the model. Would have been cool if constructed but they were not necessary of course.

They cancelled the last two Iowas but I have the idea that one of the power plants went into the SS United States.
