The US Navy was encouraged to build battlecruisers because of British

finally became victims of the Washington Treaty. Lexington and Saratoga were
eventually completed as carriers.
All data is for battlecruisers only. |

The Alaskas were designed to take on projected Japanese cruisers, which were never built. Officially, they were classed as large cruisers. As the Japanese ships were never built, only 2 of the Alaskas were completed. |
