BB-72-1 Design Study

This battleship is also my personal, fictional ship and it's a likely follow-on ship for the Montana's. The most noticeable feature are the 18" guns and a long, narrow bow to achive 33 knots. (The hull is the same as BB-65-8.)

So the technical datas are as at BB-65-8, except:

Main battery: 9 X 18"/47 (457mm L/47) Mark A

Secondary battery: 12 X 2 5"/54 (127mm L/54) Mark 16

Arrangement: 3-3-A-3 See link : warships1.com
