The ''South Dakota'' class was a group of four fast battleships built by the United States Navy. They were the second class of battleships to be named after the 40th State; the first designed in the 1920s and canceled under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. The class comprised four ships: , , , and . They were more compact and better protected than the preceding , but had the same main battery, nine 16"/45 caliber Mark 6 guns in three-gun turrets. The ships can be visually distinguished from the earlier vessels by their single funnel, compared to twin funnels in the ''North Carolina''s. According to authors William Garzke and Robert Dulin, the ''South Dakota'' design was the best "treaty battleship" ever built.〔Garzke and Dulin, p. 71〕 Construction began shortly before World War II, with Fiscal Year (FY) 1939 appropriations. Commissioning through the summer of 1942, the four ships served in both the Atlantic, ready to intercept possible German capital ship sorties, and the Pacific, in carrier groups and shore bombardments. All four ships were retired post-war; ''South Dakota'' and ''Indiana'' were scrapped, ''Massachusetts'' and ''Alabama'' retained as museum ships. ==Development==
