Colorado Class Battleship Profile Drawings

There were 4 ships planned for this class, USS Colorado BB 45, USS Maryland BB 46, USS Washington BB 47, and USS West Virginia BB 48. Completion of the USS Washington, however, would have put the U.S. in violation of the Washington Naval Limitations Treaty, so in 1924, the unfinished hull was towed off the Virginia Capes and sunk by gunfire from USS Texas and USS New York. The other three ships were commisioned, and served through World War II. All three were part of the Pacific Fleet, and were at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked on 7 DEC. 1941. In 1959, the three remaining decommissioned ships were sold for recycling. Profile drawings of these ships is available, so check back here often for new image samples.
