Clemson — American Tier IV destroyer.
Developed from the Wickes class, Clemson belonged to the second series of the U.S. Navy "flush-deckers". The ship's hull was designed in such a way that the single mounts of the main battery could be replaced by twin mounts in order to double the destroyer's firepower.

Player Opinion
Performance
As a torpedo boat, Clemson is a difficult destroyer to play due to its poor, short-ranged torpedoes. While the upgraded torpedoes have an added 1700 damage and 0.5km range, it has an increased reload time of 26 seconds (23.4 with Torpedo Armament Expertise skill), which makes it questionable to upgrade to the Mk 11 torpedoes. The guns are excellent with relatively good shell speed and penetration for 102mm guns. However, its range is relatively short, much like a Japanese destroyer at 8.6km. Additionally, it has a relatively high detectability of 7km, slightly worse than its Tier V counterpart and much worse than the Isokaze. However, it does have good rudder shift time, allowing for short-notice dodging. Its 2x3 torpedoes per side allow it to launch waves of torpedoes and keep the enemy at arm's length.
In summary, it is a solid US destroyer, featuring good shell speed and maneuverability despite the below-average torpedoes.Pros:
- Relatively good ergonomics for a small ship.
- Good shell speed.
- Good HE damage and AP penetration.
- Fast turret traverse and reload.
- The gun upgrade replaces the single turrets with twins, doubling the firepower and outgunning any same-tier destroyer.
- Fast rudder shift time.
- Small profile.
- Relatively quick torpedo reload- until the upgrade.
Cons:
- High detectability.
- Very short-ranged torpedoes (cannot torpedo outside of detection range).
Research
Availability of researchable upgrades for Clemson is as follows:
- Main Battery: Unlocking and equipping this module doubles the number of Clemson’s main battery guns; all of her single-mount guns become double mounts. Hull (B) must be researched in order to research this module.
- Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for a healthy boost in hit points, a few more AA mounts, and marginally faster rudder shift times. Research of this module unlocks progression to Nicholas.
- Torpedoes: Upgrade to the Mark 11 torpedoes for more damage and range. Hull (B) must be researched in order to research this module.
- Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to Mk4 mod. 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Clemson are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
Commander Skills
Consumables
Clemson can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Smoke Generator
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.
