Pennsylvania-Class Battleship WW2

The Pennsylvania class comprised the American battleships Pennsylvania and Arizona, built before the United States entered the First World War. Their four triple turrets carried a heavy 14-inch gun battery within the Navy’s standard-type battleship concept. Both were at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, but their fates diverged sharply: Arizona was destroyed, while Pennsylvania survived and supported later Pacific operations. Later changes to antiaircraft armament and superstructures altered the ships’ appearance, while successive refits reflected the growing danger from aircraft and the demands of another world war. The sisters’ different survival created different opportunities for wartime modification. Equipment visible on a late-war Pennsylvania cannot automatically be transferred to Arizona’s final configuration at PearlHarbor.
