The Montana Class Battleship was never built, hower it varied with the Yamato on paper by being of about the same tonnage, almost 100 feet longer with more (12) vs (9) but smaller 16 in vs 18 inch guns. The Yamato had a larger crew, heavier secondary batteries and heavier Armor and a seven floatplane air division. Longer, yes, and a lovely ship.
The Yamato had bigger guns, but Montana had fire control radar making her much more accurate as well as 3 more guns.
Edge Montana by a long way.

What is the strongest battleship in the Iowa class?
The four battleships of the World War II-era USS Iowa class (includes Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri and Wisconsin) are the largest "battleships" built by the United States. However, modern US nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, including the USS Enterprise and the USS Nimitz-class carriers, are the largest "warships" built by the US. The Iowa-class battleships are approximately 890 feet long and displace some 45,000 tons. The Nimitz-class carriers are approximately 1100 feet long and displace some 90,000 tons.Adding on to the last answer, the Montana class battleships would have been the largest US battleship class, weighing in at 72,000 tons, but were canceled in favour of the Essex Class Carriers. But to be exact, the largest battleship of the US Navy, not battleship class was the USS Missouri, weighing in at 45,700 tons, 890 feet, just 700 tons heavier and 3 feet longer than the other Iowas. The extension allowed it to fit a couple more anti-aircraft missiles during the 1980's.

Why couldn't the US make a battleship better than the Yatamoto?
The Yamato-class battleships were bigger and more heavily armed than any battleship in the US Navy. The US focused more on aircraft carriers and submarines for naval warfare, as they were seen as more effective in the changing dynamics of naval combat during World War II. Additionally, the construction of such large battleships was costly and resource-intensive, which may have influenced the US decision-making.
