The five
Montana-class battleships, leviathans designed to dwarf even the giant
Iowa-class battleships, were authorized for construction but never built, victims of the ascendance of naval aviation. Nearly as large as a modern supercarrier the
Montana-class, like all battleships, was made obsolete by the success of the aircraft carrier.

In the late 1930s, the U.S. government, recognizing the deteriorating world situation, sought to rebuild U.S. naval power. The crash of the stock market in October 1939, as well as the Washington and London naval treaties, had slowed the growth of the U.S. Navy and reduced its tempo of peacetime operations. By 1940, however, with fighting raging in Asia and Europe, it was clear the United States needed to beef up its defensive capability to deter attack or to prosecute a war if it were dragged into conflict.
Share This Article We are appealing to the family of a Navy Veteran who has lung cancer to please call the lawyers at Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 about compensation if he also had significant exposure to asbestos.” Pennsylvania US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate
PITTSBURGH , PENNSYLVANIA, USA, January 12, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ The Pennsylvania US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, We are appealing to the family of a Navy Veteran who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer to please call the lawyers at Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 if he also had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard while they were in the service. Financial compensation for a person like this might be well over $100,000 and it is important to add that the claim does not involve suing the navy. Further-it does not matter if the person smoked cigarettes or not. The typical person we are trying to identify is around 70 years old.
The Expanding Case for the UFO. Certainly,
The Case for the UFO was the most controversial of the three. His book was a detailed study of the theoretical power-sources for UFOs: what was it that made them fly? How could they perform such incredible, aerial feats, such as coming to a complete stop in the skies, hovering at incredible heights? Jessup believed that the vitally important answers lay in the domain of gravity. Or, as he saw it: anti-gravity. Jessup may well have been onto something, as it wasn’t long at all before the world of officialdom was on Jessup’s back – specifically senior figures in the U.S., Navy. And it was one particularly intriguing office of the Navy that was watching Jessup – a “special weapons” division. Clearly, someone in the U.S. Navy was interested in, and perhaps even concerned by, Jessup’s findings and theories.
