Vermont | Tier 10 | Battleship

During World War I, in the midst of the dreadnought arms race, designers were given complete carte blanche. Seven battleship designs were proposed with maximum capabilities and performance. There was only one restriction—the battleships had to be able to pass through the Panama Canal. The initial design was more conservative compared to the others. The battleship carried twelve large-caliber guns placed in four turrets, was reasonably fast, and had very strong armor.
