Something I recently read in U.S. Battleships: An Illustrated Design History by Norman Friedman is the South Carolina Class and Delaware class were designed before the introduction of the cage masts. Here is some concept art of the two.

While firing on ex-USS Miantonomoh (BM-5) during a battle practice on September 21, 1916, a shell exploded in the port 12 inch gun barrel of turret no. 2 of USS Michigan (BB-27) and sent fragments through the ship.

Luckily only one crewman was injured.

Photographed while in a drydock at Philadelphia Navy Yard for repairs on September 25, 1916.
