Product Description
The New York class were a pair of superdreadnoughts built for the US Navy, both commissioned in 1914 a few months before the start of the Great War. The two ships were the first United States superdreadnoughts, armed with ten 14'' guns in five twin turrets, although they still retained ancestral features like vertical triple expansion steam engines, as they were still bridging the gap between the second generation dreadnoughts and the more advanced Nevada class. Both ships were seconded to the Grand Fleet as the Sixth Battle Squadron at various points in time before 1918, participating in the ceremony of surrender of the German High Seas Fleet. The interwar was fairly uneventful for both vessels, conducting training cruises and exercises, and being modernized in the late 1920s. Both New York and Texas spent the entirety of World War II providing shore bombardment and convoy escort duties, the latter ship being present at D-Day while them both were present for Iwo Jima and Okinawa. New York was expended as an atomic target in Operation Crossroads, while USS Texas has been preserved as a museum ship, the only dreadnought still in existence.
