Annapolis — American Tier ★ cruiser.

The heavy cruisers designed during World War II became the epitome of their class, making them the most formidable and powerful U.S. heavy cruisers in history. After the development of a 152 mm automatic gun, the U.S. Navy High Command placed an order for a similar gun but with a caliber of 203 mm. New cruisers were to be equipped with triple-gun turrets featuring the aforementioned 203 mm guns and fitted with a thick armored deck for protection against aerial bomb attacks. USS Des Moines conducted various diplomatic and representative missions. She was also used for training cadets and in naval exercises.

Annapolis was released into the U.S. tech tree on 14 April 2022.

Player Opinion

Performance

The pinnacle of the US heavy cruiser line, Annapolis plays similarly to the Des Moines.

For AA defense, Annapolis has access to 10 of the Austin's aa guns which results in a massive amounts of AA power surpassing even Midway, and this is aided by the defensive AA fire consumable, however, they are very easy to destroy due to their highly exposed position.

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".

Combat Capability - Alternative Firing Mode

BurstFireModule.png
Annapolis can alternate between a regular firing mode and a Burst Fire firing mode. Firing the guns with the alternative firing mode enabled will fire 3 salvos in quick succession. This firing mode takes much longer to reload.

Requirements:

Burst fire can be toggled on and off at will.

Effects:

  • Reload time: 40 seconds
  • Interval between individual shots: 1 second
  • Number of bursts in a series: 3


Pros:

  • 12 203 mm guns with a very fast reload time
  • Powerful AA defenses which can further be improved with DFAA
  • Access to the burst fire mode
  • Access to the consumable surveillance radar

Cons:

  • AA defenses are highly exposed. It's not uncommon to see a destroyed AA mount after a close range fight.
  • Mediocre armour, with 27mm extremities and 30mm upper belt being vulnerable to overmatch from 406mm and 430mm caliber guns respectively
  • Somewhat slow

Research

As a top-tier ship, Annapolis as no module upgrades to research.
