Overview
In the late 1930s, the US was designing large ships with 305 mm main artillery, intended to fight cruisers. The most protected of the presented options was the CA2G project, which, according to the report, was protected "worse than any battleship, but better than any cruiser." The ship, named USS Alaska, joined the fast carrier task force operating in the Pacific.
