half a century ago. The most valid comparison might be as a percentage of that year's Navy budget. Honestly I've given up on comparable costs as prices have increased by multiple orders of magnitude for more directly comparable equipment like tanks. A WW2-era Sherman cost about $ 50K, a modern M1A2 is about $ 5 million. And aircraft are even worse.--

relative to how she was initially tested for her service in WWII. This figure in itself comes from the Guinness Book of World Records for fastest battleship, however it makes no mention of the 39 knot number in the article. The 39 knot number is however mentioned in the comments section, but I have been unable to verify it.

There is a new book out "Armor of the Iowa-Class Battleships" that is nearly 400 pages dealing exclusively with armor. The book was based on original plans. That book conflicts with a a number of statements made in this article. I would behoove some to go through that book and update the article. For

The official manning for the turret was 77 plus 6 powder passers and 12 in the magazines. (OP-769). The 77 figure includes many redundancies. There are duplicates on the sights. There are allowances for manning the rangefinder (which was removed in Turret No. 1), and for crew that do nothing when the

IV. This is misleading: "Each gun rests within an armored turret, but only the top of the turret protrudes above the main deck". There is a fixed part of the turret and a revolving part of the turret. The fixed part of the turret has 1 1/2" of armor. The rotating turret is obviously armored above the

In United States Navy terminology "BB" is used to denote a "Battleship", while "G" refers to a ship capable of carrying and launching guided missiles. "BBG" would therefore translate into "Guided Missile Battleship", not "Battleship Battle Group". For this reason it is necessary to use three Bs: "BB"

I subscribe to the theory that the best infobox image is a "beauty shot", or an image that otherwise grabs the reader's attention in some way. The current one certainly does that, and the overall color is beautiful. The image you've suggested is a bit bland, and the background makes the overall ship
1917:
In my opinion, the current infobox image does not show the silhouette of the ship very well, and this image does it better. I know this image has been used by the article forever but I think the following would be a good replacement. Alternately, here's another image that I think is a good candidate
1602:
In response: There is inconsistency in this article in how it reports armor thicknesses. Many places in the Iowa class have backing plates (e.g. bulkheads). In some cases the article includes the thickness of the backing plate. In others it does not. I note that 5" Armor + 1" Backing plate Does not
2065:
Every authoritative source on the Iowa class battleships cites a standard displacement of 48,110 long tons; nowhere on any other site could I find an attribution for the (unsourced) figure of 47k and change. It's a minor difference, but one that to my knowledge isn't backed up by any authoritative
1994:
Most other ships don't have nine 16-inch guns either. The Iowa photo is n that article in the lead too, so we probably don't need it here in that position also. However, I really don't think the alternatives shown are good for the lead. I glanced through Commons, but didn't see any I thought were
1971:
I see your point, but nearly every other infobox picture of a ship class tend to show the profile and silhouette of the vessel quite well; I agree that the current image is great in terms of colors and is attention grabbing, but it seems to be the exception compared to how most ship class articles
1865:
I don't think that even that index is actually accurate for warships since 1.2 billion is roughly the cost of a single 9,000 ton Burke-class cruiser. An Iowa is roughly 5 times bigger and its armor and guns cannot be built by any facility in the world as they were all retired as unneeded more than
1696:
Another armor inconsistency is that the article states the belt armor tapers to 1.62". The mill size of the plates (about 3/8" oversize) tapered to 1.62." When the bottom was cut off, the taper was to greater than 1.62." But the shipyard tapered the bottom 9 inches to 1". So in reality, the plates
1680:
This statement is misleading: "Over the magazines, the splinter deck is replaced by a 1-inch (25 mm) STS third deck that separates the magazine from the main armored deck." There is quite a bit of overlap between the splinter deck and the 1-inch areas of the third deck. It's not correct to say the

the inclusion of such material would fatally compromise the article quality, which in the long run could result in a downgrading of the article. Worse, any openly visible comparison section in the article would invite another edit war to take place over the issue of whose battleships get a mention
1640:
Turrets say 9.5" to 19.5". Two problems with that. (1) it omits the 7 1/4" Roof. (2) The front face is 17" with a 2 1/2" backing plate (+1 inch of cement). :The side it s 9 1/2" with 3/4". There is an inconsistency that the front is reported with backing plate but the side is reported without the
1747:
The text implies the rotating turret armor extends below the barbette which is incorrect. From the shelf plate to the plan plate, the rotating turret wall is 7/8" high tensile steel. The pan plate rests on the roller bearing track. The circular bulkhead around the pan plate even has openings. So
1783:
All three turrets extend to the Second Platform. (Plan 7201ZN), The revolving parts of the turrets are effectively identical down to the lower projectile flat. Below that, length of the central column and the powder hoist paths are different to accommodate the differences in heights between the
1521:
For the life of me, I can't find this 39 knot figure. The 35.6 knot figure is from a shake-down cruise of USS New Jersey, after a recent refit for her service in the Vietnam War. It is also worth noting that the ship's armament was significantly modified prior to her service in the Vietnam War
1798:
While I am at it, the number of 20mm mounts was not the same among the Iowa class. The New Jersey had 49x20mm mounts (8 of which were ultimately twin). Some of the other Iowa class wedged in more mounts.IIRC, the Missouri crammed 3 mounts at the 02 level FR 120 in the space designed for 2.

This sources used in this article are cited at the end of each paragraph (known on Knowledge (XXG) as "per paragraph citation") so a check of the numbered note at the end of the paragraph should provide the source for the information. If this does not work, then add {{cn}} to the suspicious
1739:
III. Incorrectly states "The guns are 66 feet (20 m) long (50 times their 16-inch bore, or 50 calibers from breechface to muzzle)." The guns are actually 816" (68') from breechface to muzzle. BuOrd plan 227539. The caliber measurement does not include 16" allocated to the breech.
2124:
Another issue I noticed is that the article refers to the Iowa-class as having "skegs." The supports for the inboard propellers are decidedly not skegs. The plans refer to them as "twin keels" and they are integral to the hull shape, not extensions from the hull as in a skeg.
2121:
example, the book shows the belt tapers to one-inch, not 1.62" as claimed in this article. If you look at the detailed diagrams in the book, it is clear that the belt would not fit if it did not taper to one-inch. I see this issue has been raised in this discussion before.
1787:
The shape of the fixed part varies considerably among the turrets and consequently the ammunition storage in the outer ring is different and turret no. 2 has an additional projectile storage level that compensates for its significantly reduced storage in the upper flat.
424:
some level of comparison was needed in the article. The link has survived the 2007 discussion regarding comparisons of class in Knowledge (XXG) articles, and as such is considered an acceptable substitute for a comparison section here on Knowledge (XXG).
598: 693: 1586:
Some sources I have seen (Jane's Fighting Ships of World War 2) list the "side" armor as 16", while others list the belt as around 12". Does the side refer to the same thing as the belt, if so which should we use, and if not should we insert both?
1346: 1177: 1767:
V. "When firing the same conventional shell, the 16-inch/45 caliber Mark 6 used by the fast battleships of the North Carolina and South Dakota classes had a slight advantage over the 16-inch/50 caliber Mark 7 gun when hitting deck armor . . . ."

VII. A bit off the subject but I noticed this incorrect statement "At the time of their commissioning, all four of the Iowa-class battleships were equipped with 20 quad 40 mm mounts and 49 single 20 mm mounts."
1941:
a bit hard to see, especially the details, at that size. I'd keep the current one for now. However, the proposed image isn't in the article anywhere else, so I'd recommend adding it in an appropriate section.

The structural third deck ranges from 1" to 9/40th of an inch. In addition, the third deck is armored from FR 166 to FR 203. It is 5.6" + 3/4" from frame 166 to 189 and 6.2" + 3/4" from frame 189 to 203

much better, aside from those in the leads of the other 3 ships. Wisconsin's is probably the best of those, but it's bow on at a slight angle, and the other 2 are still more bow facing.

Can someone please check the formatting of colons after time periods (WWII, Cold War, etc) in the specifications infobox? I can see some with no colon, normal colon, and bold colon.
769: 1780:
Reason I find this misleading is that the levels of the turrets do not correspond to decks EXCEPT for the powder handling flat. The powder handling flat is at the Second platform.
1251: 2244: 171: 1675:
The text mentions the increase in thickness of the transverse armor in the last four Iowa class ships but does not mention the increase in the splinter deck from 5/8" to 3/4".
900: 2229: 1654:
The second deck's maximum is 4 3/4' + 1 1/4". See here the backing plate is included (inconsistently). :Plus the deck has various ranges down to 0.3" (another inconsistency).
1632:
Addressing the question above, the hull has 1 1/2" of armor midship. Torpedo BHD 1 is 5/8". Torpedo BHD 2 is 5/8. and Torpedo BHD 4 is 5/8. If you count all of that you get
1287: 1618:
Belt is given as 12.1" Omits the 7/8" Backing plate (12.1" + 7/8". And 12.1 Is the maximum. The belt tapers to 1.62" AND this is the figure only for FR 50 to FR 166.

Moving to the turrets, the text again iconsistently includes the backing plate when giving the front thickness but excludes it when giving the side thickness.

12.1 + 7/8 + 3 x 5/8 + 1 1/2 = 16.35. However, Torpedo BHDS 2 and 3 are not armor (STS). Excluding those gives 15.1" It all depends upon how you count.
2269: 361:
When originally featured back in 2005 the article did have a comparison section, however the presence of a comparison section resulted in a two month

VI. I find this description misleading or hard to interpret: "The turret extends either four decks (Turrets 1 and 3) or five decks (Turret 2) down."
1771:
This "advantage" is only true for certain ranges. Beyond 40,000 the 50 caliber projectiles arrive at the same angle and the "advantage" disappears.
895: 850: 2299: 1795:
Neither the Iowa nor the New Jersey had 20x40mm mounts at the tie of commissioning. It was actually 16x40mm quad on the NJ and 15x40mm on the Iowa.
