Some BB pics..

These are a few of my favorite BB's. USS Texas - the last of the dreadnoughts. She is a testament to US design - having proudly served in two world Wars.

I also enjoy the RN's King George V class, with their quadruple turrets - forward and aft. I always wondered why the British did not design her with 15 or 16in guns, like the Rodney or Nelson. Was this do to treaty stipulations during KG's development?
