Ship Overview

All Ships

 Indiana — American • Premium • Tier VIII • Battleship.

The second of four South Dakota-class battleships, she combined substantial firepower and protection with moderate speed and a tightly packed layout. From late 1942, she took part in most major U.S. Navy operations, including those in the Solomon Islands, the Marshalls and Marianas, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. In July 1945, Indiana became the first battleship to shell the Japanese home islands. She was placed in reserve after the war and scrapped in the early 1960s.

Indiana was released as the final reward of the Pacific Hammer campaign, which took place from June 29th to August 3rd, 2026.
