This thread has two purposes;

A) An AHC type challenge to make battleships and/or big-gun ships major surface combatants that are built and laid down post-ww2. The later they matter and the bigger they are, the better.

B) A place for designs of post-ww2 battleships to be posted and discussed, doctrinally possible or not after the lessons of the second world war.

A few battleships were commissioned post-WW2, but none were laid down after it, as the aircraft carrier proved that it was a more effective warship, and because in the new world situation, the soviets weren't really planning to contest the high seas.
