In collaboration with
Warship Projects , the BB65-12 sketch was part of March-July 1940 series of designs. It was 950ft long, has a 116ft beam, and displaces 54,000-tons. It's projected to go up to 32knots thanks to its Iowa powerplant producing 212,000shp. Nine 16"/50 in 3-gun turrets are its main batteries, with long-barrelled 5"/54 twins for secondaries (vs. the ubiquitous 5"/38)
