![]() USS Minnesota, meanwhile, is likely based on the Tillman Maximum Battleship designs of the 1910s. Not to be confused with the South Dakota-class battleships of 1939 design which we are familiar with today. The in-game USS Kansas is most likely based on the South Dakota-class battleships of 1920, supposed as a successor to the Colorado class but was never built. Due to the escalator clause it was armed with the 16″/45 Mark 6 guns. The USS Florida is one of the early North Carolina designs, as the ship originally called for 14″ guns. Just cut to the chase and design the biggest battleship American industry can actually build and be done with it. Tillman battleship designs were a result of Senator Tillman being angry at the navy for asking for a bigger and more expensive battleship every year, so he said to heck with it. T10 is definitely a Tillman design using the guns found on the Georgia/Ohio. The original guns were to be the Mark 2’s, but they were too big for the Iowa turrets. Heck, the only reason the Mark 7s exist is because of a design mixup in building the Iowa’s turrets. ![]() The T9 is some Tillman or even another South Dakota 1920 design variant using what appears to be the 16/50 Mark 7s found on the Iowa’s and Montana’s. The gun details on it match the Colorado guns though, whereas the actual South Dakota 1920’s were to use the extremely powerful 16/50 Mark 2 guns. T8 is a variant of the original South Dakota (1920) class design where 6 were ordered and laid down, but never finished due to the Washington Naval Treaty.
