Montana: The U S Navy s Master Plan for a Monster Battleship

Montana (SSN-794) was christened in a ceremony at Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) Newport News Shipbuilding Division. Construction of the boat began in 2015, and the submarine is on schedule to be delivered to the U.S. Navy by the end of 2021. The submarine will be only the second U.S. Navy vessel named in honor of the Big Sky state – which is the fourth largest in size but is also the 8th least populous. Previously, only the Tennessee-class cruiser carried the name USS Montana (ACR-13), and while she escorted convoys during the First World War, the vessel was eventually renamed and reclassified as the USS Missoula (CA-13) in the reserve fleet.

Simply the Best: These 5 Submarines are Second to None

Who gets an honorable mention? Here s What You Need to Remember: However, every country in the world that pretends to serious maritime power is building or acquiring advanced submarines. The next submarine war will look very different from the last, and it’s difficult to predict how it will play out. There have been three great submarine campaigns in history, and one prolonged duel. The First and Second Battles of the Atlantic pitted German U-boats against the escorts and aircraft of the United Kingdom and the United States. The Germans very nearly won World War I with the first campaign, and badly drained Allied resources in the second. In the third great campaign, the submarines of the US Navy destroyed virtually the entire commercial fleet of Japan, bringing the Japanese economy to its knees. US subs also devastated the Imperial Japanese Navy, sinking several of Tokyo’s most important capital ships.

If Pearl Harbor Was So Successful, Why Didn t Japan Repeat It?

If Pearl Harbor Was So Successful, Why Didn’t Japan Repeat It? The most prudent course for Imperial Japan would have been to avoid war with the United States entirely. Here s What You Need to Remember: The Japanese had thought that the Pearl Harbor raid might easily cost them two aircraft carriers. Having escaped nearly unscathed, Nagumo probably figured he should quit while he was ahead. At 7:45 AM on the morning of December 7, 1941, Commander Mitsuo Fuchida gazed exultantly from the rear seat of his B5N bomber at the serene vision of Pearl Harbor below him, its defenses unprepared for the onslaught about to befall them. He then rolled back his bomber’s canopy and fired off a dark blue “black dragon” flare, signaling for the 182 combat aircraft behind him to press the attack.  Minutes later he exuberantly radioed the message “Tora! Tora! Tora!”

The Sad Tale of That One U S Battlecruiser That Did Nothing

The Sad Tale of That One U.S. Battlecruiser That Did Nothing In hindsight it was an error to order six battlecruisers on the basis of an unsubstantiated rumor. Here s What You Need to Remember: Outsticked by airpower’s long reach, the cruisers became guardians of the very ships and aircraft that made them obsolete. Alaska and her sister ships were well-armed for their time, each sporting three turrets (two facing forward, one rearward) armed with three twelve-inch guns. One of the mightiest warships of the U.S. Navy was also ironically the least useful. The USS  Alaska and her sister ship USS Guam were the largest cruisers constructed by U.S. shipyards during World War II, ironically to counter a threat that never materialized. Although fast and powerful in their own right, the ships were rendered obsolete as offensive weapons by naval airpower and served out the war as escorts for aircraft carriers.
