New 42,000 Ton Battle Ships to Lead Future Navy
The Navy plans three new super-dreadnoughts to outclass rivals as Congress weighs approval this winter. The Colorado Maryland Washington and West Virginia contracts yield 42,600 ton ships at 21 knots with eight 16 inch guns, while the proposed vessels would displace 42,000 tons, reach 23 knots, and mount twelve 16 inch guns. The shift boosts displacement by 20 percent, speed by 10 percent, and gun power by 50 percent, surpassing current British models like the Queen Elizabeth and earlier Spanish warships. The United States has progressed from the Oregon’s 10,288 ton era to these giants, though Panama Canal limits loom for future basing and harbors.
