This particular model has been converted from the USS Arkansas from Patogeee's channel. I redesigned basically all of the main deck house from the second front turret back, added conning towers, redesigned the funnel layout, turrets and various other things.
USS Wyoming (BB-32) was the lead ship of her class of dreadnought battleships and was the third ship of the United States Navy named Wyoming, although she was only the second named in honor of the 44th state. Wyoming was laid down at the William Cramp & Sons in Philadelphia in February 1910, was launched in May 1911, and was completed in September 1912. She was armed with a main battery of twelve 12-inch (305 mm) guns and capable of a top speed of 20.5 kn (38.0 km/h; 23.6 mph).
During the First World War, she was part of the Battleship Division Nine, which was attached to the British Grand Fleet as the 6th Battle Squadron. During the war, she was primarily tasked with patrolling in the North Sea and escorting convoys to Norway. She served in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets throughout the 1920s, and in 1931–1932, she was converted into a training ship according to the terms of the London Naval Treaty of 1930.
Wyoming served as a training ship throughout the 1930s, and in November 1941, she became a gunnery ship. She operated primarily in the Chesapeake Bay area, which earned her the nickname "Chesapeake Raider". In this capacity, she trained some 35,000 gunners for the hugely expanded US Navy during World War II. She continued in this duty until 1947, when she was decommissioned on 1 August and subsequently sold for scrap; she was broken up in New York starting in December 1947.

Update #3- July 20th : by Old World Ship Building Co 07/20/2023 2:28:44 amJul 20th, 2023
Completed main superstructure, minus the smaller details along with 1 of each of the pair of 3 superfiring turrets. Started laying out the beginning of the lower decks. Due to the height and overall shape of the Wyoming's (formally Arkansas's) hull, I'm not able to create "half decks" at the forward and aft sections of the ship. If I get around the do a complete rebuild of the ship from the ground up, I might put some more detail into it. This is just a prototype build, after all

Always feel free to put something from yourself. When working on minecraft as a creativity platform, you *must* add something from your imagination. It works very well on ships. Keep up the good work mate.
