Question: Which U.S. Navy battleship was to be the second in its class but had its construction cancelled before the keel was laid?
Sentence (from "USS Kentucky (BB-66)"): However, the U.S. Navy's experiences in World War II led it to conclude that rather than more battleships larger and more heavily armed than the "Iowa" class , it needed more fast battleships of that class to escort the new "Essex"-class aircraft carrier s being built.
Relevant evidence: No
