wich for me is really too much
There can be never too much AA.
Even the Midway-class CV do not carry more than 21 quadruple bofors.. for me 31 quads is impratical.

Meanwhile, i have added a measure 22 version for 1945 Montana.

The midway class was a carrier not a battleship and had less space for guns.

but that was build to carry a lot of AA and also build to defend it'self and other ship against other aircraft, the same role Iowa had, and Montana would have to. while a BB is build to carry a lot of different type guns, and if you have to many guns it get crowded and you get top weight issue.

What about a late war South Dakota bridge? Looks more balanced compared to the smaller superstructure with the 1945 Iowa bridge.

Looking great!

Also, no need to credit me for the bridge. ;)

The 1942 version is just the final design of the Montanas, she has 10 quadruple bofors on paper; the speculative/own design 1945 is based on drawings and the same model you posted above, sporting 19 quadruple bofors (just one less than Iowas), i have saw other models ammassing as much as 31 quadruple bofors mounts (31? thats 124 40mm guns!) wich for me is really too much, i think it's possible to add as much as 6 quadruple mounts at best (3 port and 3 starboard, simmetrycal), but no more (two between turret 4 and aircraft catapults, and another 4 by deleting the boats deck, a-la-Iowas).
Yep

BB's, some personnal idea's for the 1947+ version
- twin 76mm location
- maybe replacement of the ageing seaplane by the early newer helicopters around 1948 ? (maybe you can delete the catapult by 1948-1952 !!!)
- for the 20mm mount, you can delete almost all gun, except a very small handfull, ideally 2 or 3 mounts toward forward & 2 or 3 mounts toward aft superstructure (for a full better arc of fire).
