By Jeanex? Probably. Seems to mostly be focusing on early warship first. Ship involved in 1942.
Montana was designed to take on larger treaty battleships without needing to worry about the Panama Canal. The US Navy did not know how large Yamato was, nor how larger her guns were until after the war was over. Even when she was sunk the Americans thought she was armed with 16 inch guns like the Nagatos. They had found out she was bigger than expected already, but by then the Montanas had been cancelled.
I don't recall the Americans having even seen Yamato before Montana was cancelled.
