World of Warships Ohio battleships transform the Pacific War

What if all US battleships became World of Warships Ohios in 1942, including refloated Pearl Harbor losses and completed slipway hulls, with gun production converted to 18 inches?

The hypothetical gives the United States overwhelming surface strength and useful carrier escorts, with refloated losses, completed hulls, and 18-inch production multiplying the advantage.

The scenario replaces every American battleship with the fictional World of Warships Ohio, refloats the Pearl Harbor losses, completes ships still on the slipways, and converts large-calibre gun production to 18-inch weapons. A quoted 28-knot speed removes the Standard-type battleships' difficulty operating with carriers. Eight 18-inch guns per ship and the sudden numerical strength of the fleet would overwhelm the Japanese surface force, while the heavy antiaircraft fit adds carrier protection. Shore bombardment for amphibious operations also becomes much more powerful. Armour details remain disputed: the in-game model is checked against a conflicting wiki description, and the visible internal plating is acknowledged to be incomplete. The outcome depends on granting the game-derived ships and their supporting production capabilities.
