First, my previous thoughts http://wowsquesnel.blogspot.ca/2015/05/deductions-part-2.html and a refresher....
The statement....

What was currently known....
IV Arkansas
USS Arkansas carries guns of the same calibre as her predecessor, but her firepower is significantly increased. The ship has twelve guns installed in six turrets. The layout of the turrets is quite unique: two of them are mounted forward, two aft, and two amidships. As a result, bow guns and after guns can fire straight and sideways, while central turrets can only fire sideways.
The ship has the same level of armour as her predecessor Michigan, however her speed is increased to 21 knots.

What I wrote....
Sitting at tier IV is the confirmed Arkansas (BB-33) and her sister, the speculative Wyoming (BB-32) of the latter ship class. Both were armed with 12X12 inch guns and would survive the war. Wyoming would be scrapped in 1947, while Arkansas would be used in a nuclear bomb test at Bikini Atoll in 1946.
There is a very strong possibility that if the Arkansas becomes the tech tree ship, the Wyoming could very well be either the premium counterpart, Beta Test reward, or a battleship for a second American line.
