Design work on the ships that would be authorized for FY1912 had begun in 1910, with the first sketch prepared by the <a href="/wiki/Bureau_of_Construction_and_Repair" title="Bureau of Construction and Repair">Bureau of Construction and Repair</a> (C&R) in May that was based on the preceding <i>New York</i>s.

And because AP shells would easily perforate medium armor plate, only the thickest possible protection should be carried. Another important development that resulted from the assumption of long battle ranges was the adoption of thick <a href="/wiki/Deck_(ship)" title="Deck (ship)">deck</a> armor. This was necessitated by the <a href="/wiki/Projectile_motion" title="Projectile motion">trajectory</a> of the projectiles; as range increased significantly, the angle of impact increased, and thus shells would tend to strike the horizontal deck, not the heavily armored sides, an effect known as <a href="/wiki/Plunging_fire" title="Plunging fire">plunging fire</a>. The result was the "<a href="/wiki/All_or_Nothing_(armor)" class="mw-redirect" title="All or Nothing (armor)">all or nothing</a>" principle of armor protection, which reserved armor protection only for the ship's vitals, including magazines, propulsion machinery spaces, and command spaces. The arrangement was made watertight to create an armored raft that contained enough reserve <a href="/wiki/Buoyancy" title="Buoyancy">buoyancy</a> to keep the ship afloat even if the unarmored ends were completely flooded.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFriedman1985101–102_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFriedman1985101–102-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBreyer59,_209_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBreyer59,_209-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <i>Nevada</i> design was the first of any navy to introduce the concept.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJordan8_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJordan8-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In June, the Board sent a set of requirements to C&R that incorporated the twelve-gun battery already projected, a minimum speed of 21 <a href="/wiki/Knot_(unit)" title="Knot (unit)">knots</a> (39 km/h; 24 mph), and an armor layout based on the "all or nothing" concept. The engineers at C&R noted that the armor deck would considerably strengthen the hull, but pointed out that the 11-inch belt of the original design would be wholly insufficient to defeat the latest main guns in foreign navies. The Board suggested the addition of a 1.5 in (38 mm) splinter <a href="/wiki/Bulkhead_(partition)" title="Bulkhead (partition)">bulkhead</a> behind the belt, which would contain shell fragments. In late 1910, before a final design was accepted, the Navy had to submit estimates for FY1912 to be voted on by Congress in 1911; they used figures based on the <i>New York</i>s, which were accepted by Congress, and in turn limited the size of the new ships to a <a href="/wiki/Displacement_(ship)" title="Displacement (ship)">displacement</a> of around 27,000 <a href="/wiki/Long_ton" title="Long ton">long tons</a> (27,000 t); this was too low for C&R's existing proposals, necessitating a redesign.

The amidships magazine of the battleship <a href="/wiki/USS_Delaware_(BB-28)" title="USS Delaware (BB-28)"><i>Delaware</i></a> had difficulty remaining cool, as it was adjacent to the boiler room and the steam lines for the propulsion system ran alongside it. Since the thicker deck increased hull strength, the initial arrangement proposed for <i>Nevada</i> could be abandoned in favor of a closely spaced superfiring pair. This shortened the length of hull that required armor protection, and thus reduced displacement. Experience with <i>Delaware</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s propulsion system—which mixed coal and <a href="/wiki/Fuel_oil" title="Fuel oil">oil fired</a> <a href="/wiki/Water-tube_boiler" title="Water-tube boiler">boilers</a>—provided the next improvement: boilers that were exclusively oil fired. These would confer a number of advantages, including the ability to refuel at sea, a significant reduction in boiler room crews, greater fuel efficiency, and more compact boiler rooms, among others. Again, the smaller boiler rooms shortened the length of armor necessary to protect the vitals. C&R was not convinced, since coal bunkers had been used to reinforce the side armor, but the Board approved the change in November 1910. Even by that time, the engineers at C&R continued to lobby for their original design based on the <i>New York</i> class, but the Board refused to entertain the proposal. Next, the Board decided to return to <a href="/wiki/Steam_turbine" title="Steam turbine">steam turbines</a> rather than <a href="/wiki/Triple-expansion_engine" class="mw-redirect" title="Triple-expansion engine">triple-expansion engines</a>, as they believed the greater efficiently of fuel oil would allow the notoriously voracious turbines to achieve the long cruising radius necessary for operations in the Pacific Ocean.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFriedman1985103–105_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFriedman1985103–105-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:USS_Nevada.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/USS_Nevada.svg/220px-USS_Nevada.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="79" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/USS_Nevada.svg/330px-USS_Nevada.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/USS_Nevada.svg/440px-USS_Nevada.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="982" data-file-height="354" /></a><figcaption><i>Nevada</i> in her original configuration</figcaption></figure> <p>C&R submitted its next proposal on 13 February 1911; it generally aligned with the Board's ideas for the armor layout, but it retained some medium armor to protect the secondary guns and it incorporated triple-expansion machinery (though they noted that the engine rooms could accommodate Curtis turbines). The Board rejected it, leading the designers to remove the medium armor, producing a series of studies with speeds of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph), 20.5 knots (38 km/h; 24 mph), and 21 knots and main batteries that ranged from eight to twelve guns. During this period, on 4 March, Congress authorized a pair of ships, designated BB-36 and BB-37 for FY1912. With the ships now authorized, the Board selected one of the ten-gun, 20.5-knot variations on 30 March, which had a belt that was increased to 14 in but included a series of tapers at the top and bottom edge to save weight. The <a href="/wiki/Bureau_of_Ordnance" title="Bureau of Ordnance">Bureau of Ordnance</a> pointed out that the belt could not be manufactured in a single <a href="/wiki/Strake" title="Strake">strake</a> with the tapers, so a joint between upper and lower strakes—a design weakness the engineers had been attempting to avoid—would have to be used. The problem was resolved in July, when C&R proposed removing the 1.5-inch splinter bulkhead in favor of increasing the belt to 13.5 in (343 mm) and incorporating only one taper at the lower edge.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFriedman1985107_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFriedman1985107-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The next issue to address was the triple turret that was the linchpin of the design, since the weight savings made the heavier belt possible and it corrected design defects present in the earlier 5- and 6-turret classes. The US Navy had never built a three-gun turret, and there were concerns that a single hit could disable all three guns, and that three holes in the turret face would weaken the armor too much. C&R suggested conducting firing trials with the old battleship <a href="/wiki/USS_Indiana_(BB-1)" title="USS Indiana (BB-1)"><i>Indiana</i></a>, but nothing came of the proposal. Daniels approved the finalized <i>Nevada</i> design on 31 March, without a completed turret design, which was a significant gamble because the turret design might not have been successful. An experimental turret was completed in August 1912, proving the concept, though it required some modifications to reduce shell interference. Since the finalized design adopted a ten-gun battery, only two of the four turrets would be triple mounts, one forward and one aft, with twin-gun turrets superfiring over them.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFriedman1985107,_111_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFriedman1985107,_111-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>With the design nearly finalized, the Board began to circulate it with fleet officers for comment; Captain <a href="/wiki/John_Hood_(naval_officer)" title="John Hood (naval officer)">John Hood</a>, who was soon to become a member of the Board, criticized the placement of the secondary battery, as experience with the early dreadnoughts had shown <a href="/wiki/Casemate" title="Casemate">casemate</a> batteries to be completely unusable in all but the calmest seas.
