Rating C+ (Lower-mid within its tier and class · overall score 37) · Balanced battleship
An American alternate-history battleship with nine 457 mm guns on a Yamato-type hull, essentially the tier IX Yosemite scaled up for tier X. A 21,456 salvo and 300% citadel multiplier allow up to 64,368 in one salvo against broadside targets on paper. However, a 26 s reload and ~354 m dispersion at 12 km (7% wider than average) put its DPM 15% below average. 72,315 HP and thick armor give it good staying power, but a 26.68 kn top speed and 19.2 s rudder shift are sluggish and 12.66 km detectability makes a late position hard to recover from. Its secondaries are also 69% weaker than average, so it is better off avoiding brawls.
