* Named after the state of [[wikipedia:Massachusetts|Massachusetts]].
* She was launched on the 23rd of September 1941.
* Became a Museum ship at Battleship Cove on the 14th of August 1965.

* Survived World War II.
* One of the few kanmusus who have their real world counterpart still around.
* She is the only US Battleship that fought and engaged in a gun duel with another battleship in the European Theatre, against Jean Bart.
* According to some records, she broke records in terms of long-range gun hits against Jean Bart.
*Her damaged CG depicts a hole in her flag. This is a reference to a corresponding event during the Battle of Casablanca where a French 8-inch shell tore through her national ensign. The flag was purposefully larger in hopes that the French forces would not fire on the Americans. [https://i.imgur.com/ua62E00.jpg The original flag is currently on display in the museum ship.]
*The art of the small character shown on her remodel’s turret 2 is [https://i.imgur.com/wV33fXe.jpg “George the Gremlin”]. While painted by her sailors during the war, there is debate over the reason for the depiction of a gremlin. The original painting was recently discovered to be on turret 1, making the recreation on turret 2 technically erroneous.
