Montana-Class Heavy Battleship

The Montana class was an American battleship design authorized during the Second World War but canceled before construction. It was intended to combine heavier protection and a larger main battery with a broader hull than the Iowa class. Strategic priorities shifted toward aircraft carriers, amphibious operations, and other requirements before the ships were laid down. Montana therefore had no operational service, battles, or completed refits. Its history concerns naval planning and the final development of the traditional American gun battleship concept. Its projected dimensions would also have affected access to existing infrastructure. Designing a larger battleship involved docks, construction yards, and operating requirements beyond the gun battery alone.
