"The Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair requested on March 8, 1919 that his staff develop a set of comparative studies for ships of this type, apparently reflecting his desire to anticipate a possible need, as early as the 1920 shipbuilding program, for retrenchment from increasingly large capital ship designs under development at the time. The concept was not pursued. The original plan is in the 1911-1925 Spring Styles Book."

Jesus prayed the same prayer three times in the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:39-44 describes Jesus' prayer. He goes away to pray, pleading with God to take the suffering away if possible, but ultimately submitting to God's will.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). - The Bible.
