Name all the “Iowa” class BBs, if you can.

What class of BB was designed to supersede the Iowas?

Montana class BB was up next after Iowa class BB

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Montana Class:

USS Montana, BB 67
USS Ohio, BB 68
USS Maine, BB 69
USS New Hampshire, BB 70
USS Louisiana, BB 71

The Montana Class were to have had 12 big guns on two sets of turrets each side.

They were all canceled in July of 1943.

btw, Although BB 66 was never completed, the bow of the Kentucky was used to repair the bow of the Wisconsin after the Wisconsin was damaged in a collision in 1955.
