Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 60) · Fast battleship
An American premium battleship with nine 406 mm guns on an Iowa-class hull; dispersion at 12 km is ~293 m, 11% tighter than the tier X battleship average. Its key feature is the Combat Instruction 'System Reload': landing 18 main battery hits doubles reload speed for 15 s, and per the wiki it can be triggered repeatedly with virtually no usage limit. Its tight groupings meet that condition often, so real expected damage exceeds the base stats. 3 charges of Scout Plane II offset its 14.58 km base range, and AA 30% above average plus Air Defense Alert II make it strong against carriers. However, salvo damage is 14% below average and 66,621 HP gives only average durability.

Wisconsin, an Iowa-class fast battleship, was among the final battleships to be commissioned worldwide. She contributed to the closing stages of the Pacific campaign by escorting aircraft carriers and shelling coastal fortifications occupied by Japanese forces. Beyond World War II, Wisconsin actively engaged in conflicts in Korea and the Persian Gulf. After colliding with a destroyer in 1956, she underwent restoration, receiving a new bow section from her unfinished sister ship, USS Kentucky. Since 2001, Wisconsin has been a museum ship permanently berthed in Norfolk.
