	''Farragut'' has very good damage output against enemy submarines, but can only capitalize on enemy mistakes without the assistance of allied spotting. Her depth charges are the best for a Tier VI destroyer, boasting an excellent alpha of 5,100 damage, best-in-class flooding and fire chance, and a consistent drop pattern that makes it easy to hit submarines. Due to her great speed and maneuverability, it is easy for her to chase down spotted submarines and not get outmaneuvered by them. However, she is reliant on external spotting, whether through {{Hydroacoustic Search}}, {{Submarine Surveillance}}, or the sub exposing itself in detection range as she has no tools to directly spot them herself.

 ''Farragut’s'' torpedoes are an afterthought and only useful for self-defense. Her launchers move to a centerline position, trading the ability to launch torpedoes on both sides of the ship for an 8 torpedo broadside. The biggest issue with utilizing ''Farragut’s'' torpedoes is that her torpedo range is shorter than her detection range even with her upgraded torpedoes. This means that she will struggle to utilize her torpedoes in the majority of situations, barring self-defense.

 Preventative Maintenance at Level 1 and Last Stand at Level 2 are easy recommendations for ''Farragut'' commanders.
-Level 3 offers a number of good options.  Survivability Expert is a safe pick, buffing ''Farragut''’s health pool by 20%.  Main Battery & AA Specialist and Adrenaline Rush are recommended for captains looking to get more damage out of their main battery.  Superintendent is a strong choice if captains often fire from the cover of smoke. Inertia Fuse for HE Shells is extremely useful, allowing ''Farragut's'' main battery to deal direct damage to same tier crusiers and battleships at the price of cutting fire chance by half.

 Concealment Expert is recommended as the first Level 4 skill as it helps to cut down on ''Farragut's'' poor base concealment. Fearless Brawler can replace Main Battery & AA Specialist if captains want to min-max their firepower. There is risk involved, as captains need to put their ship into potential danger in order to utilize the skill.

 ''Farragut'' is the Tier VI successor to the American destroyer ''[[Nicholas]]'', boasting improvements in firepower at the cost of survivability. Historically, the ''Farragut''-class was the first American post-World War I design, and the 5 inch /38 cal guns they carried would be a staple armament of all subsequent American destroyers until the end of World War II. Her role in game places focus on her excellent main battery, with her short-ranged torpedoes reserved for self-defense.
 Compared to ''[[Nicholas]]'', ''Farragut’s'' hull is a straight downgrade in terms of survivability. Although her handling is similar, ''Farragut'' comes with a substantial decrease in her hit-point pool and worse concealment. Compared to other Tier VI destroyers, ''Farragut’s'' speed and turning radius is average among her peers, while her rudder shift is above average. With a fully-upgraded hull and optimal captain skills, ''Farragut'' has 1,250 less health and 0.87km worse concealment than ''[[Nicholas]]''. As a result, ''Farragut'' has the worst hit-point pool and the second worst concealment values out of all Tier VI destroyers. These attributes make ''Farragut'' one of the squishiest destroyers at her tier, as most destroyers in her matchmaking bracket will outspot her and she lacks the health to take many hits.
 ''Farragut'' retains the same fast-firing 127mm guns as ''[[Nicholas]]'', but adds another turret near the center of the ship for a total of five. Compared to other destroyers at Tier VI, she boasts phenomenal firepower, with the highest and third-highest damage per minute for high explosive and armor piercing rounds respectively. In exchange for this raw firepower, she pays heavily in terms of shell handling. ''Farragut’s'' shells are among the slowest and floatiest in tier, making it difficult to lead targets at range. However, these high arcs also let captains shoot from island cover without fear of detection. Lastly, the 127mm guns that are used from ''[[Nicholas]]'' to ''[[Gearing]]'' all have the worst fire chance in their respective tiers for a destroyer at 5%. Still, her high fire rate gives her an above average fire starting potential for her tier.
 ''Farragut’s'' torpedoes are an afterthought and only useful for self-defense. Her launchers move to a centerline position, trading the ability to launch torpedoes on both sides of the ship for an 8 torpedo broadside. The biggest issue with utilizing ''Farragut’s'' torpedoes is that her torpedo range is shorter than her detection range even with her upgraded torpedoes. This means that she will struggle to utilize her torpedoes in the majority of situations, barring self-defense.
 As with other American destroyers, ''Farragut'' has access to a {{Smoke Generator}} with a 30 second dispersion time and almost 2 minute action time. She can utilize the smoke screen to create mobile cover and fire at enemies with her guns, or lay down cover for allied ships. Just like other American destroyers from Tier V to X, ''Farragut'' can choose between {{Engine Boost}} and {{Defensive AA Fire}}. Captains should take {{Engine Boost}} over {{Defensive AA Fire}}, as ''Farragut’s'' anti-aircraft battery is not good enough to take down a determined carrier strike. Engine boost allows her to quickly reposition around the map while increasing her acceleration rate and top speed.
 ''Farragut’s'' gameplay revolves around utilization of her excellent main battery. At the start of the match, captains should move near caps with the presence of allied ships to spot for the team. It is inadvisable to sail into caps at the start of the game, as ''Farragut’s'' concealment ensures that most opposing destroyers will outspot her. If possible, let an allied destroyer contest the cap, and support them with gunfire from a distance. Use her long duration smoke and firepower to push back enemy advances and to secure the flank. Once a flank is secured, start rotating to other objectives and provide gunfire support. Keep an eye out for unspotted enemy destroyers, as they have the potential to drop torpedoes into the smoke of unsuspecting captains.
