On January 22, 2008, I identified the the turbo-electric drive ship of the this class as being the New Mexico. JBickley00 ( talk) 20:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Not sure if I should have added inline "clarification needed", but need it for the sentence "The General Board arguing that the increasing range" in Design History section. Trilotat ( talk) 13:52, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
My father, Roy P Moody, was a Chief Petty Officer [CSK] aboard the USS New Mexico from September 1940 to March 1945. He always recalled to his family that the New Mexico sailed from Pearl Harbor the week before Japan's attack, missing it by only a few days. This particular recollection has been independently corroborated by a source who is a family member of another former Naval crewman that also served aboard the USS New Mexico during the same month of December 1941. 2600:1700:96D0:A390:94AD:2A1:E7DC:4B55 ( talk) 01:12, 1 July 2020 (UTC)Phoebe H Moody Source: Roy Polk Moody, Chief Petty Officer [CSK], USS New Mexico, 1940-1945
Does anybody know what kind of fire control system these ships had ? I suppose it consisted of a rangefinder and a director but which exactly ? Mr.Lovecraft ( talk) 16:47, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Start of the fifth Paragraph in the Design section, the sentence reads: "Despite the fact that the offer period had opened, one more major change to the design was made. At the time, the standard propulsion system for warships relied on steam turbines to turn propeller shafts, though the former operated most efficiently at high speed, while the latter generated thrust most effectively at relatively low speed."... So it talks about two propulsion systems, one efficient at high speed and one efficient at low speed, and it mentions steam turbines, but it doesn't seem to mention another propulsion system. Presumably the turbine is efficient at high speed, what propulsion system is efficient at low speed? Fanccr ( talk) 04:26, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
