Basically they would have been an enlarged Iowa class battleship with a fourth 16" gun turret, more armor and a bit slower speed.

yeesh. my minds in second gear.

I assumed that the Montana Class Emperor was talking about was the Montana which survived Pearl Harbor...our BB classes were really effed up until Iowa

As far as I know there was nothing effed up about the North Carolina and South Dakota classes which preceded the Iowas. They were excellent, fast carrier escorts unlike the older BBs at Pearl.

If they were not good BB's then the montana class may have been built, instead before the keel's were even laid, the brass decided on building more Essex class carriers.

The 2 North Carolina's were in the Atlantic and the South Dakota's not yet completed.

And all six of these were too slow for the carriers, that's one more reason why the Iowas were built.

Didn't seem to deter them from taking part in every carrier battle after Midway.

Yes they were slower than the Iowa class. But at a top speed of 27 to 28 knots the were used as escorts. Later in the war both NC class ships were in the Pacific. USS Washington and USS South Dakota sank the Kirishima at the battle of Savo island.
