This warship was the crown of the developmental process of "standard" battleships in the U.S. Navy.


Year of Design: 1918

Ship Traits
Agile: Above average ability to change direction.	Guns Aplenty: A high number of guns allows for a lot of damage from a single salvo.	Slow: Below average maximum movement speed.
