Distinction

[edit]

One of the distinctive features of the Tennessee and Colorado classes was the fact that unlike the preceding classes, there were no casemates in the hull for secondary surface-to-surface guns. By WWII, all the preceding classes of US battleships had their hull casemate guns removed and the casemates plated over). Naaman Brown (talk) 00:39, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

power

[edit]

It seems I was mistaken. The ships' propulsion systems were rated at what it is. Turbine power or electric motor power? Turbine power - 28600 shaft horsepower (Friedman). Еlectric motor power - 26800 shaft horsepower (Cracknell, p. 201)--Inctructor (talk) 11:51, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
