Background

About the ship

The final series of "conventional" battleships for the U.S. Navy, characterized by robust armor protection of vital ship components. The primary distinction from her predecessors was the adoption of 406 mm main guns. Upon her commissioning, USS Colorado joined the battle fleet stationed on the West Coast. During the Pacific War, the battleship provided fire support for landing operations in the Marshall and Mariana Islands, and she assisted landings in the Philippines and Okinawa.
