The Super Yamato was basically the same design but with massive 20" guns.

“Slightly bigger Bismarck”
H44 was supposed to clock in at over 130, 000 tons, and carry 20 inch weapons. For reference, USS Gerald R Ford, the largest warship in service today, only weighs around 101000 tons

Dude casually showing the uss montana model behind him

The IJN-Zipang: ”heh, pathetic.” ☠️💀☠️

[LiminalMindsQuizzes]

Do another one about HMS Incomparable. It was supposed to be a cruiser, but its guns were so massive that they surpassed any battleship's guns at that time.

The Montana Class would have been amazing. 4 Triple turrets with 16” mark 7s

I want modern battleships, with railguns and a nuclear reactor.

[pogmeistergeneral]

the weird thing to think about is, without ww2 these battleships wouldve never been proven less useful than carriers, and battleships would still be in use until maybe not today but easily modern times, so theres a chance in the next big war aircraft carriers are proved obsolete and replaced by something else, just like battleships in ww2

[holdencross]

The difference is the Lion class was cancelled due to the realisation that more destroyers and other light ships were needed

Idc what this guy says. Battleships are beautiful and fun

There was a USS Vermont that was a real chunky boi. Sadly, it was never built

The G3 and N3 Designs of the 1920s where in essence the only time time britian thought ships so big would be worth it and ngl N3 was Better armed and armoured than yamato at her conception . the reason Lion and KGV where so limited In scale is that Britain had become too overstretched with too many enemy's to fight and couldnt Maintain such large ships over seas. They ended up using tech to Offset the differance and ended up with some Very good ships . KGV was better armoured than yamato with 14ich guns that performed as well as Bismarks guns .... pretty impressive considering the 35k displacement limit

The first one is the Design A-150 with 51cm main battery projectiles if I'm not wrong

[MinorityRespecter]

I understand how they were all obsolete, but God I love battleships so much

[crimzonpegasus]

Everybody gangsta until the Tillman designs hit the waves

[greendayboy]

Do Schlieffen!!! (A battle cruiser, yes - but still a compelling design)

[Shanzo-X]

Same goes for the Montana Class Battleship

[danguinius]

Montana-class would have been absolute beasts on the sea

[lancerevell]

Britain's HMS Vanguard was an interesting and beautiful battleship, actually reached service. But didn't get fitted with bigger guns.
I'd like to have seen the USS Montana built, it would have been very impressive. 😎👍

"Just a King George the fifth with bigger guns"

Those KGVs were crazy good. A larger KGV hull sporting 406mm or 419mm guns would have been noteworthy.
