Tier VII · Cruiser · U.S.A. · Premium
Rating S+ (Top of the class within its tier and class · overall score 99) · Gunnery cruiser
Gunnery cruiser, suited to tanking. Top speed is 31.7 kn (0.8 kn below average), but 11.6 s acceleration and 6.0 s rudder shift make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. 31,973 effective HP and good protection keep it alive, but big guns overmatch its ends, so be careful tanking bow-in. Its AP main battery DPM of 51,708 is 10% above the same-tier cruiser average. Its weak detectability (8.28 km) drops to 7.37 km with a stealth/mobility equipment build (at −5% HP).
