![]() The main belt was planned to be 409 mm thick and placed on the outside of the ship compared to the internal main belt of the Iowa-class. As for the speed, the Montana-class would have been able to achieve 28 knots. The Montana-class as it would have most likely been built would have carried 4 triple turrets with 406 mm/50 guns, 10 twin turrets with 127mm/54 guns and a variety of 40 mm Bofors mounts as well as 20 mm Oerlikons. It will only be in 1941 that the number of options was narrowed to 4 with only a few details changing from one design to another.

As for the ship itself, the Ohio is based on the never-built Montana-class of the U.S. This battleship is with the Colbert the first reward ship of the upcoming Naval Training Center so don’t expect her to be released any time soon. This month, only one ship is being introduced and it’s the tier X Freemium Battleship Ohio. seems to mark a bit of a break in terms of new ships entering supertest.
