Kontynuując niejako post z 15 sierpnia 2026 r. w którym prezentowałem monitory dla US Navy z działami z Oklahomy i Arizony w wieżach potrójnych, proponuję kolejną podobną jednostkę, wykorzystującą pozostałe 2 podwójne wieże z USS Oklahoma. Zasadniczo okręt jest podobny do tamtych jednostek, z tym, że ma wieże na dziobie i rufie, co wymusiło zwiększenie wymiarów i wyporności a także przekonstruowanie rozmieszczenia dział 127 mm. Ponadto okręt ma kilka szt. Oerlikonów więcej. Osiągi i opancerzenie są analogiczne, aczkolwiek pas burtowy jest nieco wyższy.
