Inquiries should be addressed to the Publishers. Designed to meet the limits established by the Washington Naval Treaty WNT ofas well as the width of the Panama Canal, the North Carolina was seen to be unbalanced in design as it had insufficient armor relative to its main armament. The South Dakota class that followed carried adequate armor and was considered to be a successful design. However, with a top speed of 27 knots, these fast battleships were not fast enough for President Roosevelt. Japan's withdrawal from the Naval Treaty system provided the opportunity to design a battleship unconstrained by treaty limits. As a result, the four battleships of the Iowa class corrected the design shortcomings of both the North Carolina and South Dakota classes, and with a designed speed of 33 knots fulfilled their designation as "fast battleships. In addition to withdrawing from the Naval Treaty system, Japan became increasingly secretive about its naval construction program, with the result that on March 31,the US, Great Britain, and France invoked the escalation clause to raise the displacement limit to 45, tons. Assumptions were made that any new Japanese battleship would be larger than 35, tons and faster than the Kongo class battleships. The finished design for the South Dakota class overcame the problem of the under-armored and therefore unbalanced design of the North Carolina class, and met the original displacement and armament limits of the WNT. During the design process for both the North Carolina and South Dakota classes, the primary objectives were to maximize armor and armament, with speed a 4 secondary consideration. Nevertheless, these ships were designed with a top speed of 27 knots to be able to match the Japanese Kongo class that the US avy assumed had a top speed of 26 knots.
