Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Fast firing guns, like her sister ship.
- 27 mm of armor protects against 15 inch guns.
- Strong AA.
- High shell arcs give her guns a lot of utility.
- Heal gives Salem much more survivability when compared to Des Moines.
Cons:
- High shell arcs make leading shots more difficult.
- Citadel is easy to hit when showing broadside, and all 16 inch guns can overmatch her armor.
- Salem shares the same radar as the T7 Atlanta.
- Has no torpedoes. Must rely on guns for damage.

Optimal Configuration
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Salem comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
