※海軍事務委員のベンジャミン R. ティルマン上院議員 Benjamin R Tilghmanが要請した、最大戦艦 Maximum Battleshipsの設計研究。最初は1912年〜1913年にかけて、2度目は1916年に計画。以下は1916年12月13日に提出された案。結局これらの案は認可されなかった
第1案(Preliminary Design No. 171 (1))
排水量:70,000t 全長:297.10m 幅:32.90m 吃水:10.00m 主缶:18基 主機/軸数:ターボエレクトリック/4軸 出力:130,000馬力 速力:26.5kt 兵装:50口径406o3連装砲4基、51口径127o単装砲21基 装甲:水線457.2o、甲板127o、砲塔前楯508o、砲塔天蓋152.4o
↑70,000 ton Battleship ... December 13, 1916. Preliminary design plan of a hypothetical battleship created at the request of the U.S. Senate and submitted to the Senate on 14 February 1917. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina had sponsored a resolution calling for the design of the battleship of maximum size and capability that could use the Panama Canal and existing harbor facilities. The Navy recommended against building such ships but delivered plans illustrating potentially feasible designs that reflected differing priorities. This design (# 1) offered maximum protection on a 70,000 ton displacement. No such ships were built. This plan provides twelve 16-inch guns, electric drive machinery, and a speed of 26.5 knots in a ship 975 feet long on the waterline, 108 feet in beam, and with a normal displacement of 70,000 tons. Note: The original document was a blueprint (white on dark blue). The original plan is in the 1911-1925 "Spring Styles Book". U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph.

The Navy recommended against building such ships but delivered plans illustrating potentially feasible designs that reflected differing priorities. This design (# 2) offered maximum armament on a 70,000 ton displacement. No such ships were built. This plan provides twenty-four 16-inch guns, electric drive machinery, and a speed of 26.5 knots in a ship 975 feet long on the waterline, 108 feet in beam, and with a normal displacement of 70,000 tons.

This design (# 3) offered maximum speed on a 63,500 ton displacement. No such ships were built. This plan provides twelve 16-inch guns, electric drive machinery, and a speed of 30 knots in a ship 975 feet long on the waterline, 108 feet in beam, and with a normal displacement of 63,500 tons.

排水量:80,000t 全長:297.10m 幅:32.90m 吃水:10.00m 主缶:24基 主機/軸数:ターボエレクトリック/4軸 出力:180,000馬力 速力:25.2kt 兵装:50口径406o6連装砲4基、51口径127o単装砲21基 装甲:水線457.2o、甲板127o、砲塔前楯508o、砲塔天蓋152.4o
