After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the "battleship building holiday" began. It was only toward the end of this period that the U.S. Navy started preparing to build ships of this class. In 1935, preliminary sketches were presented, of which only the armament of design A was within the limits imposed by the London Naval Treaty of 1936. Development continued on a project with twelve 356 mm guns housed in three turrets. Its development led to the introduction of the North Carolina-class battleships.
