  1. as was said, two triple 16/50 cal turrets forward, two aft; 28 knots top speed......think an Iowa class trading 5 knots of speed  for an extra turret and 3" more armor. Never laid down as we built carriers instead.

    The only US ships with 3 turrets forward and aft were the Atlanta/Oakland class AA light cruisers with twin 5"/38 turrets, 3 forward 3 aft;


  2. 12 sixteen inch guns 6 for'ard and 6 aft. 3 guns to a turret.

  3. The Montana class battleships were never built, the contract for construction was canceled in 1943. By that time the U.S. Navy realized that the days of the ' Great Battleships ' was over & the aircraft carrier was the new 'King' of the high seas. Only the Iowa class battleships were completed : Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin & Missouri. Main armament was 3 turrets w/3 16" guns each.

    PS. It took me less than 10 mins. to verify this info on the internet. Amazing what you can find out there, if you look.............LOL!
