Montana navy ships wrecked for destruction after war service
Francisco August 27 The destruction by hammer and torch of ships of the line in two Pacific coast shipyards began as orders tied to the Washington armament conference take effect. Seven ships of the line including the Montana and Georgia at Mare Island will be stripped of small ordnance and other usable parts before hulls are disposed of or junked. The Montana 27.6 percent complete will be cut up as not launch ready. The Georgia once had a deadly 1906 turret explosion prompting gun gas ejector changes. Connecticut boasts a world cruise history with Admiral Evans aboard. All ships saw WWI service. later upgrades failed to prevent decommissioning and replacement with salvaged gear.
