Black Dallas
Tier VI · Cruiser · U.S.A.
Rating S- (Near elite within its tier and class · overall score 80) · Gunnery cruiser
Gunnery cruiser, suited to AA escort, DD hunting. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper). With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. Its AP main battery DPM of 41,069 is 9% above the same-tier cruiser average. Detectability of 7.5 km is 0.44 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first. Shells spread widely, so fight at medium range or wait for broadsides.

A version of a small light cruiser design, the development of which preceded the creation of the Brooklyn-class cruisers. She had features that were characteristic of most subsequent U.S. Navy ships of this type: moderate speed, an absence of torpedo armament, and the availability of dual-purpose guns complementing the 152 mm main battery guns mounted in the turrets.
