New York — American Tier V battleship.

As the gun caliber on British dreadnoughts grew in size, a decision was made to equip new American battleships with ten 356 mm guns. The ships were also outfitted with triple-expansion steam engines. Promptly after her entry into service, USS New York participated in the occupation of Veracruz. Following the United States' entry into World War I, USS New York was designated as the flagship of Battleship Division 9 stationed at Scapa Flow. During World War II, USS New York escorted convoys and supported troop landings in North Africa, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.

Player Opinion

Performance

The first American superdreadnought, New York is a substantial firepower upgrade from Wyoming with ten (10) 14-inch main guns. These guns can penetrate most targets within two tiers of her. New York is a very short battleship at 573 feet long and, combined with better accuracy than its predecessor, this concentration of firepower means she is a very dangerous target to broadside at short-to-medium range. The midships turret has a very limited engagement arc to either side and usually has to be brought to bear by turning the hull. In terms of protection she is heavily and reliably armored against lateral fire but her deck armor is ineffective against most battleship rounds she will meet, so long-range duels and exposure are best avoided.

Pros:

• She has one of the heaviest broadsides in her tier, with ten 356 mm guns in five twin turrets.
• Compact and well armored.
• Upgraded AA is significant for tier and a major hazard to Tier IV carriers.
• Decent dispersion at mid-range, making her deadly against enemy cruisers and battleships.
• Much more heavily armored and armed than many of her counterparts.

Cons:

• Stock hull is a downgrade from elite World War II Wyoming including ineffective AA and secondaries (even when upgraded), poor penetration, and extreme sluggishness.
• Sluggish top speed of 21 knots.
• Torpedoes have a higher chance of causing detonations due to the magazines all along the hull.
• Very narrow full salvo firing arc, which means captains must show her broadside or forget about using her third turret.
• Armor scheme is tough but can be tricky to use.
• Similarly to the predecessor Wyoming, hull B makes the secondary battery weakest in the game for a battleship, with only 3 slow-firing, short-range barrels per side.

Research

While it may be tempting to invest in Hull (B) first, New York’s stock speed is pathetically slow and liable to keep her out of the battle for significant lengths of time. It's best to buy the upgraded Propulsion module first, then pick up Hull (B). The range boost from the improved Fire Control System module can be left for last.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

New York only has a handful of upgrade slots to fill.

Slot 1 is most commonly filled with Main Armaments Modification 1 , though Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 is a popular pick for captains who go for a full AA build with other upgrades and commander skills.

Slot 2 has one choice for battleships - Damage Control System Modification 1 . This will reduce chances of fire and flood.

Slot 3 has only one option that is recommended, Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 , as this improves the firing range of her main battery which will be of good use when facing ships of a higher tier.

Consumables

New York can equip the following consumables:

• Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
• Slot 2: Repair Party 

Signals

New York can mount up to eight signal flags simultaneously. Captains should mount Sierra Mike () flags to increase the ship’s top speed. India Delta () flags are highly recommended to increase the amount of hitpoints the Repair Party consumable can recover. India Yankee () flags are also recommended to reduce the time required to put out fires.

History

Design

The New York class of battleship was a class of ships designed and constructed by the United States Navy between 1908 and 1914. The two ships of the class, USS New York (BB-34) and USS Texas (BB-35), each saw extensive service beginning in the occupation of Veracruz, World War I, and World War II.

Designed as a more heavily armed improvement over the previous Wyoming class, the New York class was the first battleship to feature the 14"/45 caliber gun, but was one of the last battleship classes designed with several features, including a five-turret layout and coal for fuel. The class also suffered several deficiencies such as a lack of anti-aircraft weaponry and armor layout, which were addressed with the subsequent Nevada class. Because of these deficiencies, both ships saw several extensive overhauls over the course of their careers which greatly changed their profiles.

Service

Both New York and Texas entered service in 1914 and immediately served in the occupation of Veracruz, and service reinforcing the Grand Fleet in the North Sea during World War I, during which time New York is believed to have sunk a U-boat in an accidental collision. Both ships undertook numerous training exercises and overhauls during the interwar era, and joined the Neutrality Patrol at the beginning of World War II. Outmoded by more advanced battleships in service, both ships served primarily as convoy escorts and naval artillery during the war. New York supported Operation Torch in North Africa, undertook convoy patrols and training in the Atlantic, and supported the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa. Texas supported Operation Torch, Operation Overlord, the bombardment of Cherbourg, Operation Dragoon and the battles at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Following the war, New York was used as a target ship in Operation Crossroads and sunk as a target in 1948, while Texas was converted into a museum ship, and remains permanently moored near Houston at San Jacinto State Park today.

Historical Inaccuracies

• In-game model is actually Texas, recognizable by the circular windows on the bridge. New York had square windows. The mainmast also has a gap between the searchlight platform and the Movie Operating Platform below it. New York had no gap between the platforms. However, Hull (B) still does not accurately represent Texas’ early-war refit; both ships shared the same anti-aircraft configuration.
• New York’s AA defense is heavily downgraded from its historical version. For example, not a single quadruple 1.1" or 40mm Bofors mount exists on the ship. See Texas for the historical version.
• Hull (A) represents New York after her 1926-1927 modernization. Her original 1914 configuration is missing.
• Hull (B) is a heavily downgraded version of New York’s 1943 refit, when she first received the 40mm Bofors. The four Bofors guns should be in quadruple mounts, not twin mounts. New York was also still carrying four quad 1.1" mounts; all four are missing. Of the 42 single 20mm Oerlikons, 34 are missing.
• Not represented is New York’s 1941-1942 refits when she carried a total of eight quad 1.1" (28mm)/75 AA guns.
• Permanent camouflage is actually the historical camouflage of USS Oklahoma, a Nevada-class battleship. It was an experimental pattern that was applied to the ship in 1917 during World War I; New York is in World War II condition.
• New York’s Measure 31a/8B camouflage is missing. She wore this pattern from late 1944 to early 1945. The same pattern can be found on her sister ship Texas.
• New York was painted in Measure 12 (modified) from early 1942 to 1943. From April 1943 to late 1944 she was in Measure 22. Both camouflages are missing.
• Aircraft catapult for OS2U Kingfisher floatplane on turret #3 is missing.
