The final culmination of battleship design in the United States
resulted in three classes of fast battleships. The US.S. New
Jersey, part of the Iowa Class is shown above, in a view
looking aft beyond B turret. This ship represents the apex of
battleship design. Although not as refined, her smaller
predecessors, the North Carolinas and South Dakotas were
very impressive ships in their own right. Having been built
earlier and exhibiting greater constraints of the Washington
Naval Treaty, they were slightly slower and less spacious.
Nonetheless, they mounted the same nine 16" gun scheme.

information gathered by someone who exhibits a lot of
knowledge about the U.S.S. Massachusetts, now serving as a
museum in Battleship Cove, in the state she was named after.
