Indianapolis — American special premium Tier VII cruiser.
USS Indianapolis, the second cruiser of the Portland class, participated in the New Guinea campaign and the Aleutian Islands campaign during World War II. Later, the ship participated in various landings, including those on Kwajalein, Saipan, and the Mariana and Palau Islands. She also provided cover for raids on Tokyo and took part in the assault landings on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Tragically, on July 30, 1945, the ship was struck by two torpedoes from a Japanese submarine and sank rapidly. The surviving crew spent several days in the water, even enduring shark attacks. Over the course of World War II, the ship was awarded 10 battle stars.

Player Opinion
Performance
Indianapolis should hold no surprises for players who are accustomed to the gunnery style of the American cruiser line. She's a Portland-class ship; a melding of the Pensacola and Northampton classes. The two forward, one aft layout of her turrets becomes the standard for American cruisers at Tier VIII and above, and those American guns do plenty of talking. Her shells fly fast and true, and pack a serious punch. Add the fact that she shares some of Pensacola's quick handling characteristics - as well as the ability to mount the Surveillance Radar consumable - she can snipe at destroyers with ease and hold her own in gunnery duels with cruisers above her tier if played well. However, note that as a treaty cruiser like Pensacola and New Orleans, she can't hold up to sustained fire well as her World War II brethren, but is noticably more durable against other cruisers when her bow is pointed towards them.
Played smartly, the reliability of Indianapolis can bring victory.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Indianapolis from the NA forums
Pros:
- Impressive guns for a Tier VII cruiser.
- Excellent range.
- Superb handling, only slightly slower than Pensacola in terms of "turn and shoot" maneuvers.
- Good concealment.
- Can equip the mount the Surveillance Radar consumable a full tier before ships in the regular tech tree.
- Good AA suite.
- Somewhat better armor than Pensacola. Nearly impenetrable by other cruisers when bow is pointed to the enemy.
Cons:
- Big target
- Armor is not durable against other cruisers when broadsides are exposed. Bow armor will not save Indianapolis from Battleships.
- Turrets slightly more prone to incapacitations than being knocked out.
- Does not hold up well under sustained fire.
