USS Idaho by Warlord Games

Victory at Sea: USS Idaho

The USS Idaho, the third of three ships in the New Mexico category of battleships, was the fourth ship to bear that name. She was launched in June 1917 and commissioned in March 1919. She was armed with a battery of twelve 14-inch guns in four turrets and protected by heavy armor plating (13.5 inches thick in the main belt).

During the 1920s and 30s, Idaho spent most of her time as part of the Pacific Fleet, conducting routine training exercises. She was modernized in the early 1930s. During World War II, but before the United States entered hostilities, she was assigned to neutrality patrols, protecting American shipping during the Battle of the Pacific. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, she and her sister ships were transferred to the Pacific Theater.

For the remainder of the war, it supported amphibious operations in the Pacific and bombed Japanese troops during the campaigns in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands and the Philippines. It also supported the invasions of Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Idaho was present in Tokyo Bay when Japan formally surrendered on September 2, 1945. Idaho was decommissioned the following year and dismantled in 1947.
