The fourth South Dakota-class battleship, USS Alabama, was laid down in February 1940 and entered service in August 1942. In 1943, the battleship was temporarily assigned to the Home Fleet to protect arctic convoys, but she was later sent to the Pacific Ocean to participate in operations against Japan.

The battleship currently serves as a museum ship in Mobile Bay, Alabama.
