 ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is the supership for the American heavy cruiser tech tree. She improves upon ''[[Des Moines]]'' in almost all respects, with an emphasis on her extremely potent main battery.
 <h4>Survivability & Maneuverability</h4>
-Captains familiar with ''[[Des Moines]]''’ vulnerable  armor scheme will find that this also applies to ''{{#var:ship_name}}''. Her extremities feature the same 27 mm plating common to most US heavy cruisers that can bounce up to 381 mm AP shells, while her 30 mm sides and deck can ricochet AP shells up to 406 mm. ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’ placement as a supership means she is a bit more vulnerable than other cruisers, as ships capable of overmatching her 30 mm plating are more frequent.

-The primary improvements in ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’ protection occur around the citadel. She features a slightly thicker belt than ''[[Des Moines]]'', and a uniquely shaped narrow citadel that tapers toward the bow. Unlike ''[[Des Moines]]'', ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’ citadel doesn’t extend to the outside of her hull. At longer ranges this can help mitigate AP salvos from heavy cruisers and battleships with adequate angling. However, she can still be readily citadelled when broadside. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' also features a 16% torpedo reduction.  This is above average for a cruiser and more than double that of ''[[Des Moines]]'', but torpedoes will still cause devastating damage if they connect.
-''{{#var:ship_name}}'' features the same top speed as ''[[Des Moines]]'' and a similar rudder shift, but is a noticeably longer ship in order to fit the extra turret. Along with a larger turning radius of 860 m, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is more prone to catching shells while turning that would have otherwise missed ''[[Des Moines]]''. She also features better-than-average concealment among all cruiser superships.

 <h4>Armament & Consumables</h4>
-''{{#var:ship_name}}''’ greatest improvement over ''[[Des Moines]]'' is her firepower. They share the same quick-reloading 203 mm triple turrets, but ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' gains a fourth turret which drastically increases the damage she can pump out. She also features the same improved AP penetration angles (60 - 67.5 degrees) as other American heavy cruisers.

She also features the same improved AP penetration angles (60 - 67.5 degrees) as other American heavy cruisers.
-By themselves, her HE shells are fairly run-of-the-mill in terms of damage and fire chance. This is offset by her 12-gun broadside and very quick reload that make her an extremely good firestarter, with good damage and 34 mm of HE shell penetration. With her fast reload, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’ main battery is extremely potent, able to punish any kind ship presenting broadside with her AP, and then melting them with her HE shells at steeper angles.

 As a supership, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' also features a burst-fire/alternate firing mode. When engaged, this fires three full salvos with a one second delay between them, but at the expense of a 40 second reload afterward.
-''{{#var:ship_name}}'' features the same consumable suite as ''[[Des Moines]]'', with {{Surveillance Radar}}, {{Repair Party}}, and a choice between {{Defensive AA Fire}} and {{Hydroacoustic Search}}. It is worth noting that ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’ radar also features a slightly longer duration than ''[[Des Moines]]'', at 40 seconds. She also features comparatively strong anti-air defenses, with a high flak count and high mid-range DPS, but possesses no short-range AA mounts.

 <h4>Gameplay</h4>
-Captains familiar with ''[[Des Moines]]'' will find themselves right at home commanding ''{{#var:ship_name}}'', as the ships play identically. Just like her predecessor, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is an extremely flexible ship that can be played in a number of different ways. For most players, the greatest success can be found when operating around capture points and supporting the team’s destroyers in contesting these. Utilizing her long duration radar combined with her high damage output, players can quickly dispatch enemy destroyers with HE. When playing around caps, captains should also be sure that there are islands nearby, as ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’ floaty ballistics allow her to comfortably operate behind cover with impunity while still being able to support any allies in the circle. This will also help to mitigate her shorter range. For more experienced players, kiting in open water with the bow pointed away from the enemy is also a viable tactic. This allows captains to maximize their damage potential against enemy ships without being limited to a stationary position but still minimizing most incoming damage in the process. However, this does make ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' quite vulnerable to battleships capable of overmatching her’ 30 mm midsection, and she should only engage these ships when they are distracted by teammates.

-Captains should be using a healthy mix of AP and HE shells. ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’ quick base reload of 5.5 seconds allows for rapid ammunition switching depending on the situation, and this is further improved by taking the <u>Gun Feeder</u> skill. If players have the special commander [[Ship:Special_Commanders|William F. Halsey, Jr.]], this can be done in under 2 seconds. Against broadside and slightly angled enemies larger than destroyers, captains should be using AP shells as the improved penetration angles and heavier shells will quickly remove chunks of HP. If the target angles more steeply, switching to HE will guarantee numerous fires in combination with solid penetration damage against superstructures.

If the target angles more steeply, switching to HE will guarantee numerous fires in combination with solid penetration damage against superstructures.
 Although ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' does feature the burst fire ability, captains should stick with the normal firing mode most of the time. The 40 second reload after the burst leaves her unable to fight back, as she lacks torpedoes or a capable secondary battery. While this can catch unsuspecting enemy destroyers near or around a corner when combined with her radar, the consistent reload of the normal firing mode will generally also get this job done with no issue and will not leave her defenseless in the meantime.
-''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is the pinnacle of the American heavy cruiser line. The lethality and flexibility of her main battery is unmatched by most other cruisers, and she is a strong support ship for contesting and controlling capture zones. Her quick reload and large number of guns will make quick work of any enemy ship in battle, although she is on the squishier side in terms of survivability. Captains will find ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' to be an extremely rewarding ship that demands the use of their knowledge gained from ''[[Des Moines]]''.

-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.<br /><br />''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was released into the U.S. tech tree on 14 April 2022.
