[edit] Quick Edit

I made a quick edit to the information on main batteries. While all later constructed US battleships had a 3x3 turret arrangement, the Montana would have had four triple turrets. 24.11.94.51 23:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistent speed

The infobox claims a max speed of 21 knots (this is consistent with what I find elsewhere), but gives a cruising range of 9600 miles at 25 knots. Can anybody with a good source fix this? --Stephan Schulz 22:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Good catch, that's ridiculous. I've fixed it. TomTheHand 00:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
