Description
Pyeknu commissioned this drawing, essentially a modified Montan class battleship:
www.deviantart.com/tzoli/art/M…

But improvements on her armament.
the 4 triple 16"/50 Mark 7 turrets got replaced, at first by twin 18"/48 Mark 1 turrets but I've noticed that the 20"/45 Mark 1 twins could be placed in place of them so to my suggestion they were installed instead of the 18" cannons.
The 5"/54 Mark 16 DP-AA guns are partially replaced by 6 twin 5"/54 Mark 18 ones while the rest of the 5" turrets and the 40mm Bofors guns replaced by 3"/50 RF Mark 22 twin guns in both open and fully shielded mounts, while all the 20mm Oerlikons got removed. Radar wise some improvement was done as well with 2x SG-6 surface search, 1x SK-2 Air Search and 1x SP Height finder radars. The addition of the helipad aft too was requested.

The two ship class had these names:
USS Georgia BB-72
USS Vermont BB-73
