  • Who says the Montana were never laid down?

The Montana-class battleships of the United States Navy acts as the successors to the
Iowa class, being slower but larger, better armored, and having superior firepower.

With an armament of 12 16-inch (406 mm) guns and a greater anti-aircraft capability
than the preceding Iowa-class, as well as a thicker armor belt, the Montanas is the largest,
the second best-protected, and the most heavily-armed battleships put to sea by the United
States, only losing out to the Nebraska-class Battleships. They were built to counter the
Imperial Japanese Navy's Super Yamato.

The USS Montana (BB-67) participates in shore bombardments.

nice work there nubbles

actually to say the truth, I immediately recognized them as the photos of USS Iowa on
wikipedia and didn't even notice the second turret until some mentioned the 4th turret a
couple posts later

A couple quick giveaways :)

Looking at the 'fourth' turret in the first pic, you'd notice it has been pasted in.
There are no shadows under the barrels, while there seems to be a white halo
around the barrel openings.

Secondly, Iowa's aft turret is on deck level, which means that if were to rotate back
to centreline position, the third turret's barrels would have clattered into the fourth
turret's housing.

Lastly, there is some smudging where the flames meet the sea, possibly due to
blurring or feathering of layers.

But still, pretty nice work !

Nice little photoshop. Fooled me at first because I didn't remember what originals
looked like. I did notice the back gun seemed too high but didn't think anything of it.
