		The second “Standard Type” battleship design was the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38)--a.k.a “Battleship 1913 and Battleship 1914”--which actually represented a development of a scheme considered for “Battleship 1912.” The Pennsylvania sported four triple, single sleeve turrets, vice Nevada’s two triples and two twins.
		The fifth and last “Standard Type” design was the USS Colorado (BB-45)--a.k.a “Battleship 1917.” The Colorado was a duplicate of the previous design in every respect except for the adoption of twin 16”/45 calibre individual sleeve turrets in place of the triple 14”/50 calibre units.
		USS Washington (BB-47) was sacrificed to the treaty of the same name and ordnance tests which largely confirmed the quality of the design.
