USS Massachusetts was a South Dakota-class battleship built for the US Navy. Despite being designed after the Washington Treaty, it had to adhere to a strict displacement limit, leading to a cramped design.

The ship participated in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters during World War II. In the Atlantic, it engaged in a duel with a French battleship, neutralizing it. In the Pacific, it primarily served as an escort for aircraft carriers.

After the war, Massachusetts was decommissioned and later preserved as a museum ship in Fall River, Massachusetts.
