- Armor thickness of the athwartship raised bulkhead beneath the forward superstructure25 → 38 mm
- The engine parameters have been changed: the acceleration for both forward and reverse movement has been significantly improved
- Detectability by ships reduced: 17.54 to 16.4 km. Other types of detectability reduced proportionally
Ballistics
Armor Model
Overview
A possible upgraded design of one of the never-built battleships of the South Dakota class. From 1941 to 1944, all conventional battleships of the U.S. Navy underwent significant modernization, including the addition of massive bulges that increased the ships' displacement. Those improvements included an expanded array of AA guns, seaplane catapults, and horizontal protection enhancements. Had South Dakota-class battleships been built and in service by the start of World War II, they would likely have undergone a comparable upgrade.
