dreadnought, with weak mobility but strong firepower. Equipped with good armor, a trait common to most US battleships, she can close in and slug it out at point blank range where she can make use of the large amount of secondary guns and land full broadsides from her primary guns. The primary guns can deliver tremendous firepower, able to heavily damage enemy cruisers and destroyers in a single salvo, though require a longer than average reload time and also have a very slow turn rate making it recommended in most instances to turn the ship to get the guns on target quicker.
She is slow and not very maneuverable which takes some practice to learn positioning early on in the battle and how to avoid letting ships with torpedoes get in too close. In contrast to preceding ships of the same type, she featured a thinner armor belt, but had very solid horizontal armor protection and a superior AA armament. The key advantage over her predecessors of this type was significantly increased speed.
