Alabama — American premium Tier VIII battleship.
One of the South Dakota-class battleships. Alabama boasted powerful AA defenses and sophisticated surveillance systems. She had a sensible armor layout including an internal main armor belt and a solid horizontal protection.
USS Alabama is now preserved as a military museum ship in Mobile, Alabama.
Alabama first went on sale at the end of March 2017.

Player Opinion
Performance
Alabama is a Tier VIII American battleship that shares many characteristics with her tech tree counterpart, North Carolina. The most obvious similarity is that both share the identical 16-inch, 45-caliber guns mounted in triple turrets in an AB-X configuration, as well as firing the same 13,100 damage AP shells. Both battleships also feature powerful suites of anti-aircraft guns that make them unappealing targets for same- or lower-tier aircraft carriers. Captains familiar with North Carolina’s primary, secondary, and AA armaments will feel right at home behind the helm of Alabama.
The big things that set Alabama apart from North Carolina are her torpedo defense system — the best of any American battleship in the game — and her improved handling characteristics. With a two second faster rudder shift time and a 50 meter smaller turning circle radius, she is both better able to dodge incoming torpedoes and better able to withstand damage from any she is unable to avoid. While Alabama and North Carolina share the same bow armor scheme that enables them to better resist incoming fire when bow-on towards enemies, they also share the same citadel location; enemy battleships with broadside shots on Alabama can very easily strip off large amounts of her health, especially at longer ranges.
Captains who enjoy the play style of North Carolina will find Alabama to be an enjoyable ship, and will very much appreciate her improved torpedo protection and turning.Pros:
- 16-inch guns that throw super-heavy AP shells like IX Iowa and X Montana.
- Unrivaled AA suite at her tier.
- Very durable when angled.
- Her armor belt is slightly thicker than North Carolina's.
- Underwater citadel.
- Best-in-tier torpedo protection.
- Tight turning circle.
- Decently fast at nearly 28 knots.
Cons:
- Slow muzzle velocity (especially with the heavy AP shells) requires more lead.
- Dispersion can be unfriendly at times and she can't mount Aiming Systems Mod 1 to improve it.
- Not as well-armored as American Standard battleships; flashing her broadside to enemy battleships is suicidal.
- Weak secondaries compared to other Tier VIII battleships.
- Rudder shift — while faster than North Carolina — is still fairly slow.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Alabama are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 *
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
- Slot 3: AA Guns Modification 1 *
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2 *
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1
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.
Slot 3 offers several options: AA Guns Modification 1 will boost her AA strength, while Secondary Battery Modification 1 will boost the range and accuracy of secondaries instead. Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 will increase range and give secondaries a slight boost in range and accuracy, but may be a weaker choice than the other two.
Damage Control System Modification 2 is recommended for Slot 4, though captains should consider Steering Gears Modification 1 to improve rudder shift speed.
Commander Skills
For the Level 1 skills, there is no clear-cut choice as to which skill to pick first. Skills such as Preventative Maintenance and Priority Target will help in terms of survivability, while other skills like Expert Loader may help in cases where a different target suddenly appears and an ammo swap is desired.
For the Level 2 skills, Expert Marksman is top priority. Alabama’s turrets are quite slow, as with most battleships, and Expert Marksman will help remedy that. Other skills that may be useful are Adrenaline Rush for faster reload at low health, and High Alert to get Damage Control Party off cool down quicker.
For the Level 3 skills, Superintendent should be the first choice. The extra heal is extremely handy to have in a battleship that will take a lot of damage from tanking enemy shells. Basic Firing Training is also helpful making the ship's AA even better than it already is. Basics of Survivability and Vigilance are also useful for survival purposes.
For the Level 4 skills, either Concealment Expert or Advanced Firing Training are excellent first choices to take. Concealment Expert is useful for disengaging from fights and disappearing into stealth or for making flanking maneuvers against the enemy fleet. Advanced Firing Training extends the power of your excellent AA and is the better first pick for an AA build. Fire Prevention is also an option for players who feel that they take too much fire damage and would like to minimize fire damage as much as possible.

Consumables
Alabama can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Repair Party
- Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft or Catapult Fighter
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Alabama comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
As with most ships, Alabama has 8 slots for signal flags. The most important are the flags that enhance your survivability, which are India Delta (), Sierra Mike (), and India Yankee (). There is also the option to mount November Echo Setteseven () to enhance her already formidable AA and/or November Foxtrot () to shorten the reload time of consumables. After that, Alabama captains can choose to mount flags that boost experience and credit income, such as Zulu (🚫), Zulu Hotel (🚫), Papa Papa (🚫), Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫), and Dragon Flag (🚫).
