Rating A (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 73) · Long-range battleship
Long-range battleship, suited to AA escort, fire pressure. Launching aircraft every 60 s lights up enemies behind islands and near smoke, a big scouting asset for the team, and its torpedo-bomber strikes (6 torpedoes at 1,687 each) reach targets beyond gun range. Main battery range is 14.0 km (0.4 km longer than average), and dispersion at 12 km is about 307 m, 9% tighter than average. 28.9 kn top speed and good turning, rudder shift, acceleration give it excellent mobility. High HE fire potential (2.4 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides.

Connecticut is a hypothetical battleship that merges concepts from various hybrid ships developed in the U.S. during the late 1930s. Her main battery, featuring eight 14-inch (356 mm) guns in two turrets, aligns with the Scheme F armament considered for the North Carolina class. The ship's overall design, including a hangar and flight deck at the aft, is inspired by the 1939 flight deck cruiser project.
