Special

Tennessee — American premium Tier VIII battleship.

The Tennessee-class battleships were a direct evolution of the New Mexico class, featuring a unique silhouette, enhanced torpedo protection, and a revised secondary battery layout. Following Pearl Harbor, USS Tennessee underwent two modernizations that altered her appearance and significantly bolstered the ship's defenses against air strikes and underwater attacks. The battleship had an eventful combat career during the Pacific War, participating in key engagements such as the Battle of Surigao Strait and the landings on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. USS Tennessee earned 10 battle stars during her service.

Tennessee was first released for sale on 08 October 2024.
