Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 15) · Fast battleship
An American premium battleship mounting three quad 356 mm turrets (12 guns) on an Iowa-class hull; its keys are a 32.11 kn top speed and 2 charges of Radar II (8.1 km). A 16 s reload puts its DPM 17% above the tier X battleship average, but an 18,000 salvo and max citadel damage 20% below average make each hit weak. With no firepower skills like Precise Aiming System or Rapid Reload, it struggles to deliver burst damage. Instead it plays like a large cruiser, using speed and Radar to expose destroyers and cruisers hiding in smoke near islands. HP is on the low side at 61,875, so avoid roles that require holding the front for long.
