- South_Carolina-class_battleship abstract "The South Carolina-class battleships, also known as the Michigan class, were built during the first decade of the twentieth century for the United States Navy. Named South Carolina and Michigan, they were the first American dreadnoughts—powerful warships whose capabilities far outstripped those of the world's older battleships.In the opening years of the twentieth century, the prevailing theory of naval combat was that battles would continue to be fought at relatively close range using many small, fast-firing guns. Each of the ships in the previous battleship class (the Connecticut class) had many medium-sized weapons along with four large guns. This soon changed as American naval theorists proposed that a ship mounting a homogeneous battery of large guns would be more effective in battle.As this idea began to enjoy wider acceptance, the US Congress authorized the country's navy to construct two small 16,000-long-ton (16,260 t) battleships—roughly the same size as the Connecticut class—which was at least 2,000 long tons (2,030 t) smaller than the current foreign standard. The solution to this was found in an ambitious design drawn up by Rear Admiral Washington L. Capps, the chief of the navy's Bureau of Construction and Repair, which featured heavy armament and relatively thick armor, both favored by naval theorists. However, it was in balancing congressionally mandated limits to displacement and the inherent design trade-offs between main armament, armor, and speed that only mediocre speed was achieved—an ultimately fatal disadvantage that severely limited their utility in a conflict.With their superfiring main armament, press accounts billed South Carolina and Michigan as heralding a new epoch in warship design, alongside the British HMS Dreadnought, but both were soon surpassed by ever-larger and stronger vessels like super-dreadnoughts. The class's low top speed of 18.5 knots (21.3 mph; 34.3 km/h), as compared to the 21-knot (24 mph; 39 km/h) standard of later American dreadnoughts, relegated them to serving with older, obsolete battleships during the First World War. Thereafter, both South Carolinas were scrapped with the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty.".

- South_Carolina-class_battleship quote "Early in [the twentieth century], several navies simultaneously decided to shift to a main battery composed entirely of the heaviest guns. The first and most famous product of this innovation was , which gave her name to a generation of all-big-gun ships. Parallel to but independent of her conception was the American South Carolina, in many ways equally revolutionary. She introduced a superfiring main battery, a design economy which gave her a better-protected broadside equal to that of her British contemporary on about 3,000 [long] tons less displacement.".

I submit simply that this tonnage should be put to a military use ... If our battleships cannot actively engage the enemy and are not needed to contain the enemy, it is essential, in order that their role may be an active one, that they bring pressure to bear upon the enemy by projecting man power within striking distance of the battle front.".
