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406㎜3連装砲4基、51口径127㎜単装砲21基 装甲：水線457.2㎜、甲板127㎜、砲塔前楯508㎜、砲塔天蓋152.4㎜
- ↑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.

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 (# 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. Note: The original document

- ※第3案（Preliminary Design No. 171 (3)）
- 排水量：63,500ｔ 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：30.0kt 兵装：50口径406㎜3連装砲4基、51口径127㎜単装砲21基 装甲：水線330.2㎜、甲板76.2㎜、砲塔前楯457.2㎜、砲塔天蓋127㎜

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. Note: The original document

- ※1916年12月29日に提出された第4案（Preliminary
Design No. 171 (4)）
- 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406㎜6連装砲4基、51口径127㎜単装砲21基 装甲：水線457.2㎜、甲板127㎜、砲塔前楯508㎜、砲塔天蓋152.4㎜
