So the story of the fast battleship design continues in 1918 and 1919. The two are identical except for the secondary battery. Both have 10 six inch guns in superstructure mounted casmates. The 1918 have an additional 8 six inch guns mounted above the casemates ala Lexington. The 1918 design has four 3 inch AA guns mounted besides the funnel. The 1919 design trades away all the deck mounted 6 inch guns for six 3 inch AA guns. The superstructure is based on parts from the Tennessee, Colorado and Lexington without being identical to either one. The ship has two funnels that are larger than the Tennessee/Colorado, but smaller than the Lexington. The ship has 8 16"/45 guns from the Colorado. The powerplant is the same as the Lexington, but fewer boilers to fit a much smaller size. Overall, the ship has a top speed of 26,5 kts, enough to keep up wieht the Japanese Nagato class. The design is in no way related to the 1914 and 1916 fast battleships, but experienced learned was incorporated into a completely new design.
