Background

About the ship

This was one of the options for completing the Montana-class battleships. To create a hybrid battleship-carrier, a flight deck at least 350 feet long was required, which could only be done by removing the third turret. To preserve her combat power, it was suggested to replace the fourth turret with a quadruple-gun turret.
