So before we start i know that in real life they were canned before being laided down but i believe Osea built them and used them but i also suspect the Oseans made Zumwatt class Stealth destroyers and their naval guns work while irl the USN couldn’t so the Iowa class battleships Osea had probably been replaced by Zumwatt
So what is montana 2 class battleship?well it a fictional deep modernisation of the Montana class battleships with new electronic warfare systems and an new electric integrated propulsion to replace the obsolete and under-powered 8 two drum express type steam powered boilers
What would this Ship be armed with?
well read below the ship would have this
12x 16-inch mark 7 naval gun
6x 5-inch mark 45 naval gun
4x 8-cell mk.41 Vertical Launch System
4x 4-cell mk.141 launcher
32x AGM-158C Long Range Air to Ship Missile
16x BGM-109G Tomahawk
4x 20mm goalkeeper cwis
5x RQ-7B Shadow
So what would it look like?
well here’s my description
a Montana class battleship which had twelve 16-inch mark seven naval guns with two on the bow and two on the forward part of the stern, next to the naval guns were thirty-two mark.41 Vertical Launch cells and Four mk.141 Launcher along the sides of the ship were three mark 45 naval gun on each side while up on the towers were four twenty millimetre goalkeeper cwis.
side note
The Montana class battleships were one of the most heavily armed battleship ever designed by the USA and this was her armament when originally planned
Four 3-turret 16 inch mark 7 naval gun along twenty 2-turret 5-inch mark 16 naval gun while Anti-air defences were probably forty 40mm m1 bofors and fifty-six 20mm oerlikon autocannons
so what do you think of this fictional ship based on a battleship that never entered service
