query: Which U.S. Navy battleship was to be the second in its class but had its construction cancelled before the keel was laid?

pos: USS Kentucky (BB-66) USS "Kentucky" (BB-66) was an uncompleted battleship originally intended to be the second ship of the "Montana" class . However, the U.S. Navy's experiences in World War II led it to conclude that rather than more battleships larger and more heavily armed than the "Iowa" class , it needed more fast battleships of that class to escort the new "Essex"-class aircraft carrier s being built. As a result, hull BB-66 was reordered as an "Iowa"-class battleship midway through the war.

pos: Montana-class battleship The "Montana"-class battleships of the United States Navy were planned as successors to the "Iowa" class , being slower but larger, better armored, and having superior firepower. Five were approved for construction during World War II, but changes in wartime building priorities resulted in their cancellation in favor of the "Essex"-class aircraft carrier and "Iowa" class before any "Montana"-class keels were laid.

neg: South Dakota-class battleship (1920) The first "South Dakota" class was a class of six American battleships that were laid down in 1920 but never completed. They would have been the last dreadnoughts in the Naval Act of 1916 to be commissioned had the Washington Naval Treaty not caused their cancellation one-third of the way through their construction. They would have been the largest, most heavily armed and armored battleships in the U.S. Navy and, designed to achieve 23 kn , represented an attempt to abandon its 21 kn standardized fleet speed and catch up with the increasing fleet speeds of its main rivals, the British Royal Navy and Imperial Japanese Navy. In this, size and secondary armament, they represented a break from the Standard-type battleship that had dominated American capital ship design for the prior five ship classes, while their use of standardized bridges, lattice masts and other features was a continuation of this practice and the increase in the number of main guns from the preceding "Colorado" class had long been standard U.S. naval policy. The main restriction to which they had to adhere was the ability to pass through the Panama Canal.

neg: USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) "John F. Kennedy" (CVN-79) is the second "Gerald R. Ford"-class aircraft carrier being built for the United States Navy. The ship is under construction and planned to be commissioned in 2020.

neg: USS Newport News (CA-148) The second USS "Newport News" (CA–148) was a "Des Moines"-class heavy cruiser in the United States Navy. "Newport News" was laid down 1 November 1945; launched on 6 March 1948 by Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia. The vessel was sponsored by Mrs. Homer L. Ferguson upon commissioning on 29 January 1949, Captain Floyd Smoot commanding. She was the first fully air-conditioned surface ship in the United States Navy, and the last all-gun heavy cruiser in commission in naval history.

neg: USS Chicago (CA-29) USS "Chicago" (CL/CA-29) was a "Northampton"-class cruiser of the United States Navy that served in the Pacific Theater in the early years of World War II. She was the second US Navy ship to be named after the city of Chicago. After surviving a midget submarine attack at Sydney Harbour and serving in battle at the Coral Sea and Savo Island in 1942, she was sunk by Japanese aerial torpedoes in the Battle of Rennell Island, in the Solomon Islands, on 30 January 1943.

neg: French battleship France France was the last ship of the "Courbet"-class battleship s, the first dreadnoughts built for the French Navy. She was completed just before World War I as part of the 1911 naval building programme. She spent the war in the Mediterranean, covering the Otranto Barrage in the Adriatic. "France", accompanied by her sister ship "Jean Bart" , was sent to the Black Sea in 1919 to oppose the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War. Her crew briefly mutinied in April 1919 from a combination of war-weariness, Communist sympathizers in the crew and difficult conditions. The mutiny and general lack of morale among her crew caused her to return to France later that month. Striking an uncharted rock off the French coast in 1922, she foundered four hours later.

neg: USS Bougainville (LHA-8) USS "Bougainville" (LHA-8) is a planned "America"-class amphibious assault ship to be built for the United States Navy. It will be the second Navy ship to be named "Bougainville". "Bougainville" will be built by Huntington Ingalls Industries at its shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi and is expected to be delivered to the U.S. Navy in 2024.

neg: USS Narwhal (SS-167) USS "Narwhal" (SS-167), the lead ship of her class of submarine and one of the "V-boats", was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the narwhal. She was named "V-5" (SC-1) when her keel was laid down on 10 May 1927 by the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine.

neg: Japanese battleship Hatsuse Hatsuse (初瀬 , Hatsuse ) was a "Shikishima"-class pre-dreadnought battleship built for the Imperial Japanese Navy by the British firm of Armstrong Whitworth in the late 1890s. The ship participated in the early stages of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905, including the Battle of Port Arthur on the second day of the war. She was involved in the subsequent operations until she struck two mines off Port Arthur in May 1904. The second mine detonated one of her magazines and "Hatsuse" sank almost immediately afterwards with the loss of over half her crew.

neg: SS President Cleveland (1947) SS "President Cleveland" was an American passenger ship originally ordered by the Maritime Commission during World War II, as one of the Admiral-class Type P2-SE2-R1 transport ships, and intended to be named USS "Admiral D. W. Taylor" (AP-128). The ship was laid down on 28 August 1944 at the Bethlehem Steel shipyard in Alameda, California, but was cancelled on 16 December 1944.

neg: USS Indiana (BB-58) USS "Indiana" (BB-58), a "South Dakota"-class battleship, was the third ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the 19th state. Her keel was laid down on 20 November 1939 by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company of Newport News, Virginia. She was launched on 21 November 1941 sponsored by Mrs. Lewis C. Robbins, daughter of Indiana governor Henry F. Schricker, and commissioned on 30 April 1942, Captain, later Vice Admiral, Aaron Stanton Merrill in command.

neg: USS Delaware (BB-28) USS "Delaware" (BB-28) was a dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy, the lead ship of her class. She was laid down at Newport News Shipbuilding in November 1907, launched in January 1909, and completed in April 1910. The sixth ship to be named for the First State, "Delaware" was armed with a main battery of ten 12 in guns all on the centerline, making her the most powerful battleship in the world at the time of her construction. She was also the first battleship of the US Navy to be capable of steaming at full speed for 24 continuous hours without suffering a breakdown.

neg: Nevada-class battleship The two "Nevada"-class battleship s were the first Standard-type battleships produced by the U.S. Navy, and also the first to use triple main turrets. "Nevada" (BB-36) and "Oklahoma" (BB-37) were both ordered in March 1911. In armament, armor, and propulsion the "Nevada" class represented a considerable evolution in battleship design and, in being designed specifically to fight at extreme gunnery ranges, was actually well ahead of its time. They would be followed by the "Pennsylvania"-class battleship s.

neg: USS Luce (DD-522) USS "Luce" (DD-522), a "Fletcher"-class destroyer, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce (1827–1917).

neg: USS Washington (ACR-11) The seventh USS "Washington" (ACR-11/CA-11/IX-39), also referred to as "Armored Cruiser No. 11", and later renamed Seattle and reclassified CA-11 and IX-39, was a United States Navy "Tennessee"-class armored cruiser. She was laid down on 23 September 1903 at Camden, New Jersey, by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, launched on 18 March 1905, sponsored by Miss Helen Stewart Wilson, daughter of United States Senator John L. Wilson of Washington state, and commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 7 August 1906, Captain James D. Adams in command.

neg: USS Bullhead USS "Bullhead" (SS-332), a "Balao"-class submarine, was the very last US Navy ship sunk by enemy action during World War II, probably on the same day that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the bullhead (any large-headed fish, especially the catfish, miller's thumb, and sculpin). Her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut. She was launched on July 16, 1944 sponsored by Mrs. Howard R. Doyle, and commissioned December 4, 1944 with Commander W. T. Griffith in command.

neg: Charles Martel-class ironclad Charles Martel and Brennus were two French ironclad battleships laid down in 1881–85, but cancelled in 1886, at an early stage of construction. They were slightly enlarged "Marceau"s, but with partial waterline belt armour. (The only large French armoured battleships completed in the 19th Century to have a partial armoured belt were the "Dévastation" class and the "Masséna".)

neg: Design A-150 battleship Design A-150, also known as the "Super Yamato" class, was a design for a class of battleships for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). Begun in 1938–1939, the design was mostly complete by 1941. However, after the start of the Pacific War in December 1941, all work on Design A-150 was halted so that the demand for other types of warships could be met and no ship was ever laid down. Historians William H. Garzke and Robert O. Dulin have argued that Design A-150 would have been the "most powerful battleships in history after H class" because of the massive size of their main battery of six 51 cm guns as well as numerous smaller-caliber weapons.

neg: USS Boise (SSN-764) USS "Boise" (SSN-764), a "Los Angeles"-class submarine , was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Boise, Idaho. The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia on 6 February 1987 and her keel was laid down on 25 August 1988. She was launched on 23 March 1991 sponsored by Mrs. Louise McClure, and commissioned on 7 November 1992 with Commander D. Mericle in command.

neg: USS Connecticut (BB-18) USS "Connecticut" (BB-18), the fourth United States Navy ship to be named after the state of Connecticut, was the lead ship of her class of six battleships. Her keel was laid on 10 March 1903; launched on 29 September 1904, "Connecticut" was commissioned on 29 September 1906 as the most advanced ship in the U.S. Navy.

neg: USS Hawaii (CB-3) "Hawaii" (CB-3) was intended to be the third member of the "Alaska"-class large cruisers. It was the first United States Navy ship to be named after the-then Territory of Hawaii. Because "Hawaii"' s construction was delayed by higher-priority ships like aircraft carriers, its keel was not laid until December 1943, about two years after its sister ship "Guam" .
