High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The North Carolina class was a series of two fast battleships, North Carolina and Washington, built for the United States Navy in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The navy was originally uncertain whether the ships should be fast enough to counter the Japanese Kong class, which was believed by the United States to be capable of 26 knots (30 mph; 48 km/h), or should sacrifice speed for additional firepower and armor. The Second London Naval Treaty's requirement that all capital ships have a standard displacement of under 35,000 long tons (36,000 t; 39,000 ST) meant that the desired objectives could not be fully realized within the treaty limits, and the navy considered over fifty designs before one was chosen.
