USS Montana BB 67

This is a replica of the USS Montana. A powerful battleship designed by the US during world war II. It had a wopping 12 main guns with a guage of 16 inches. a broadside that would have wiped the smirk off the Yamato's face, but its orders were canceled in favor of the Essex class carriers as battleships were proven inferior to aircraft. Its been over 80 years since the ship had been first dreamed of and some games such as Battlestations and World of Warships have included it so that you can control it from the 3rd person. But to really enjoy the ship; you must see it in the first person. After I finished the Roger Blough, I wanted to make something big. I had made the Montana before in minecraft but I wasn't happy with it because it wasn't even 50% done and I tried building it as an underwater wreck which was a decision I regret. I realized that From the Depths was the perfect platform for this project. 1 year since I first undertook the project in Minecraft and two hulls, and over a week of work It's done. The finished product is absolutley beutiful. I believe that it does an exellent job of capturing the beauty and power of the Montana. I have spent hours (not in one sitting) walking around the ships decks and taking in the naval view. to prove to my self that the ship was in the right fighting condition, I faced it against the bismark several times. The most recent battle against it was a clear victory for the Montana with only a slight list and only one main battery destroyed. I could write another paragragh about the building of it but that another story. Before I get into specks I want to make a huge shout out to my brother who did all the programing for the ships 70+ guns and AI Lets start with armor. The main armor belt in the hull is 3 meters thick above the water line, and has an aditional 3 torpedo blists below the water line making 6 meters thick there. There is also varying armor through out the ship, I believe all turret wells have two meter thick armo
