Very Fire ·1/700

A. B.

May I introduce the USS Montana BB-67, a ship that never was built, even her keel was never laid. Montana was on the drawing boards up to 1943 and was intended to be the successor to the Iowa Class battleships. However, the US Navy changed its focus on aircraft carriers versus battleships as a means of force projection in the Pacific.
