Legends_Battleship_Icon2.png Louisiana — American • Legendary Tier • Battleship.

This was one of the options for completing the Montana-class battleships. A flight deck at least 350 feet long was required to create a hybrid battleship-carrier, which could only be done by removing the third turret. It was also suggested that the fourth turret be replaced by a quadruple-gun turret to preserve her combat power.

Louisiana was purchasable in the store via Independium, a special currency related to the 4th of July update, which took place from July 1st to August 5th, 2024. It is now available as a Bureau project reward.
