Sampson — American
• Premium • Tier II • Destroyer.
One of the "thousand tonner" destroyers in the U.S. Navy. The ship carried very powerful armament for her type, but her speed was rather moderate. Due to impractical arrangement of the torpedo tubes, only half of them could be fired simultaneously during a broadside salvo.

Destroyer - SampsonPros:
- Excellent concealment allows her work in very close to targets before launching torpedoes.
- Highly maneuverable.
- Low, flush-deck profile makes her a difficult target.
- Torpedoes reload amazingly fast.
Cons:
- AA suite is essentially useless
- Sheds a lot of speed while maneuvering.
- Main battery reload time is painfully slow.
