Rating S (Elite within its tier and class · overall score 87) · Long-range destroyer
A Blitz-original destroyer that puts AP/HE guns on the same hull as Edson. Its three 127 mm guns fire every 1.8 s for 44,800 HE DPM with expected fires per minute 50% above average, and 10.14 km range with 6 km dispersion of about 83 m keeps it accurate. A 5.67 s acceleration and 3.44 s rudder shift make it agile at dodging shells, but its 33.2 kn top speed is slow. Though its reload is 0.5 s longer than Edson's, its AP is said to deal more consistent real damage than SAP, so actual firepower is similar or better. The wiki names its skill set, combining smoke and radar, as its biggest strength.
