The ship closely resembles the Pennsylvania class but incorporates several enhancements, including a redesigned aft end, new 50-caliber main guns in individual slides, and an experimental turbo-electric propulsion plant. Upon her entry into service, USS New Mexico joined the Atlantic Fleet, and after the end of World War I, she was transferred to the Pacific Ocean. During World War II, the battleship escorted convoys in the Pacific Ocean; took part in the Aleutian Islands campaign; and provided cover for assault landings on the Marshall Islands, Mariana Islands, and Okinawa, as well as in the Philippines.
