Historical background of USS Washington

USS Washington entered service in 1941 as the second ship of this name in the US Navy. It was one of the most important American battleships during the Pacific campaigns. Weighing 37,000 tons and measuring 205 meters in length, the ship was equipped with exceptionally powerful main armament: nine 406mm guns, supported by ten dual-purpose 127mm gun turrets and a number of 20mm anti-aircraft guns.
The US Navy utilized Washington in a series of key naval operations. In the Battle of Guadalcanal (1942), the battleship sank the Japanese Kirishima, and in the Battle of the Philippine Sea (1944), it played a strategic role in neutralizing the Japanese fleet. Washington's period of activity was 1941–1947, with its primary use in combat operations in the Pacific.
