The "Maximum battleships," also known as the "Tillman battleships," were a series of World War I–era design studies for extremely large battleships, prepared in late 1916 and early 1917 upon the order of Senator "Pitchfork" Benjamin Tillman by the Bureau of Construction and Repair (C&R) of the United States Navy. They helped influence design work on the Pennsylvania and first South Dakota classes of battleships.
