The Wyoming class battleship was the fourth series of two battleships of the United States Navy which served during World War I and World War II. Launched in 1912. It should be noted that at the design of this pair of Dreadnoughts that not a single one of the previous designs had yet gone to sea. While somewhat larger than their predessors they retained all the features that were common to American Battleships to date with centerline turrets, low freeboard, long service ranges, and very thick side armor
