Statistics of the Iowa class battleships. Armor: 12.2 inch belt, 6 inch deck, 11.6-17.3 inch barbettes, 2.5-17.3 inch turrets, 17.3 inch CT. Probably the finest battleships of all time. The second pair of ships had been planned as Montana class ships, but they were changed to Iowas to speed production. Reactivated for Korean War service in WWII configuration. The class was nearly discarded in 1974. Built by Philadelphia Navy Yard.
The Pennsylvania class (consisting of the Arizona and the Pennsylvania) formed the next step of the US Navy's response to the naval arms race that had begun in 1906 when the Royal Navy completed the HMS Dreadnought. The ship was launched on June 19, 1915.
