    Only three states have not had a completed battleship named after them: Hawaii, Alaska, and Montana. Hawaii and Alaska were territories (but got battlecruisers instead), and Montana was just unlucky enough to have two battleship planned, then get canceled. There was a USS Florida. A quick search on Wikipedia shows that it was BB-30, was lead ship of her class of two, was laid down in 1909, carried 10x 12" cannon in twin turrets, sailed at 21 knots, participated in convoy duty during WW1, and was scrapped due to the London Naval Treaty.

    The plan set I got I purchased them from a guy on Ebay who sells plans. Your probably better off purcahsing them from Ebay or from other sources. It would cost me over 35.oo just to copy them and then several more dollars to ship them.Fortuntaly their are plenty of sources out there you can purchase them from or somebody there should be able to get a copy for you.

    It probably is about the same as shipping, I'll dig them up somewhere. I also can copy what I have as it is already modeled superstructure. I copied my arizona off some insane detailed model I saw pictures of:rolleyes:.
