? | ===History=== | + | The ''Ohio'' is the second ''[[Montana]]''-class battleship that has been rearmed by Wargaming. She swaps the triple 406mm/50 turrets of her older sister for twin 457mm/48 turrets in addition to swapping some quad 40mm Bofors mounts with the more modern dual 76.2mm mount. | |
+ | ||||
+ | ====History==== | |||
+ | The USS ''Ohio'' (BB-68) was to be the second ''Montana''-class battleship and would've been the fourth ship to carry the name Ohio. She was to be laid down at Philadelphia Navy Yard, but the re-allocation of wartime assets to carrier construction after the Battle of Midway lead to the ''Montana''-class being suspended in June 1942 before being entirely cancelled in July 1943. | |||
====Design==== | ====Design==== | |||
? | + | In the early 1920s the USN began developing 457mm/48 gun for future use on American battleships. However, after the Washington Naval Limitation Treaty of 1922 outlawed guns larger than 406mm, it was shelved and development instead turned to the 406mm gun. In the late 30s, during the initial design phase for what would eventually become the ''[[Iowa]]'' and ''Montana''-class, the gun was again considered for use. However, tests showed that the AP projectile only had a marginal armor penetration improvement over the 406mm shell in addition to ships being limited to only six to eight guns due to the larger turrets. This, as well as America still abiding by the Washington Naval Treaty, lead to the gun being rejected early on in favor of the 406mm/50. | ||

Ohio — American special premium Tier X battleship.
A hypothetical armament project for the Montana-class battleship with eight 457 mm guns housed in four turrets. Back in 1938, amid rumors about the creation of ships with guns of a caliber exceeding 406 mm in Japan, there were projects of battleships with 457 mm guns. One of them was relatively fast and had armament comprising six guns in three twin-gun turrets. The twin-gun turrets developed for this project could well have been mounted on one of the unfinished Montana-class battleships.
