Commander Skills

Key skills for Hsienyang commanders include Priority Target, Last Stand, Survivability Expert, and Concealment Expert for the first ten points. Adrenaline Rush is highly recommended as well, however Last Stand is more important. There are many different 3 point skills to choose from; Basic Firing Training and Demolition Expert are useful skills for players who want a gunboat build, while Torpedo Armament Expertise is a skill for those that choose a torpedo boat based build. Superintendent is also a highly recommended 3 point skill to take. Advanced Firing Training may be useful for players that prefer to shoot from longer distances, but in return that increases the range that the Hsienyang will be spotted from while firing.

Signals

As a destroyer with decent firepower, Hsienyang can use various signal flags to boost that firepower. These signal flags include India X-Ray () and Victor Lima () for increasing fire chance for main batteries, and Juliet Whiskey Unaone () to increase flooding chance for torpedoes. Sierra Mike () is also recommended to increase the speed of the ship, while November Foxtrot () will decrease the reload time for consumables. Juliet Charlie () is a recommended option for captains concerned about an unfortunate early exit to port via detonation.

For economic signal flags, Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫) is useful for speeding up the XP grind, while Zulu Hotel (🚫) and Dragon Flag (🚫) will aid in accelerating the grind for commander XP.

-Reclassified DD-456 on 15 January 1955, she decommissioned 28 July 1955 and was transferred the same day to the Republic of China to serve as RCS ''Hsien Yang'' (DD-16). In ROCN service she became infamous for being involved in collisions twice in 1956 and was subsequently nicknamed "Gōng Yáng" ("ram"). After she ran aground c. 1969, her ROCN name and ROCN pennant number were reassigned to the former ''USS Macomb'', which was acquired in 1970.<br />
