USS Montana

The USS Montana is a tier 10 end of the line American battleship that succeeds the USS Iowa

Description
The USS Montana was the planned succesor to the USS Iowa in World War 2, with 5 being approved for construction. However due to changes in construction priorities, favour was given to the further construction of Essex-class carriers and Iowa-class battleships.

Performance
Being a Tier X battleship, USS Montana possesses high protection, relatively fast speed as well as high firepower. USS Montana also includes the US Navy's complimentary high AA firepower with its 78 AA guns, 98 including DP guns. It is able to tank many shots while shooting back hard, being able to use its 16 inch guns to penetrate other ships armour easily. Due to its thick armour, it is able to angle in such a way to deny penetration by most AP rounds while also being capable of utilizing all of its four turrets to fire back. Its speed, despite being slower than an Iowa, still allows it to dodge torpedos to a large extent and outrun any submarines. Overall, Montana is what is expected of its tier, being a fairly capable ship.
