The second USS Montana (BB-51), a South Dakota-class battlship, was laid down but cancelled and scrapped before launching.
The third USS Montana (BB-67) would have been the lead ship of her class of battleships had the class not be cancelled.
The movie The Abyss features a fictional Ohio-class submarine named USS Montana, but no submarine has ever borne that name.
