Massachusetts-class Battleship

The Massachusetts class battleship is the first of the world's 21st century battleships, brought back from there extinction since the early 1990s. Battleship use worldwide ended after the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and American battleships remained in reserve until 2006. Everett's government and the Department of Defense agreed with military commanders requests for fire support naval craft and designs were set out for a new 21st century battleship craft. The first Massachusetts class, named EVS Massachusetts was designed in late 2004. Construction on the first of it's class began in mid 2005 and completed the first ship by mid 2006. With it's expanded treasury with the release of gold producing technology and the aid of SBR droids, Everett planned another nine craft, all completing construction by late 2008.
