S. Carolina — American Premium Tier III Battleship.

The first dreadnought in the U.S. Navy. Due to limited dimensions, the ship carried relatively weak armament and had a low speed. Battleships of her class were the first to receive superfiring turrets. This meant she could fire a full broadside with all main battery guns.

South Carolina was temporarily released in the store June 24th and July 18th, 2022.
