?|Anno=<!-- you can write below short description for the ship. it will replace default once. -->+
?A destroyer specifically built for the [[Ship:Ships of U.S.A.|U.S. Navy]], boasting powerful AA guns and a high speed. She was handed over to the Navy of the Republic of China in 1954. Her armament was comprised of dual-purpose main guns and quintuple torpedo tubes.+

?|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->+
?By any form, ''Lo Yang'' is practically a [[Ship:Benson|''Benson'']] in Taiwanese hands but she comes with two nasty surprises: you can forego speed boost for [[Ship:Consumables#Hydroacoustic_Search|Hydroacoustic Search]] or [[Ship:Consumables#Defensive_AA_Fire|Defensive AA Fire]], as well as an alternate set of faster swimming — yet shorter ranged — torpedoes. A dynamic premium, ''Lo Yang'' can provide the edge needed with any selection of play style, from attempting to surprise the enemy with long-range torpedoes, to making them shake in their boots in your near-suicidal torpedo run, or even forcing other destroyers into a melee. She will serve captains well provided that they are well versed in how her original US counterpart handles.+

?|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->+
?* Fast turret traverse.+
?* Has access to the [[Ship:Consumables#Hydroacoustic_Search|Hydroacoustic Search]] consumable, which turns the destroyer into a bloodhound (Addendum: the hydro's range for both torpedo and ship has been increased to 3.75km and 5.43km, respectively).+
?* Has access to the [[Ship:Consumables#Defensive_AA_Fire|Defensive AA Fire]] consumable as a option.+
?* Two torpedo loadout options.+
?* Good rudder shift.+
?* Impressive handling characteristics; she responds to her rudder quickly and has a tight turning radius.+
?* Captains that are familiar with the American Tier VIII destroyer [[Ship:Benson|''Benson'']], can perform well in her.+
? +
?|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->+
?* Torpedoes may have a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" feeling; the default torpedo has a reach of 9.2km at 55 knots which is the ''[[Benson]]'' 's top torpedo; the improved torpedo moves at 68 knots but has a shorter range of 6km, requiring you to charge into near-suicide ranges for a torpedo run. (Addendum: the short range torps were buffed to 6.7km) +
?* [[Ship:Consumables#Hydroacoustic Search|Hydroacoustic Search]] is in the same slot as [[Ship:Consumables#Engine_Boost|Engine Boost]] so choose wisely.+
?* Like its premium colleague ''[[Błyskawica]]'', the ship is not good for captain cross-class training other than for her fellow Pan-Asia destroyer colleague, ''[[Anshan]]''.+
?* ''Lo Yang'' is basically a (C) Hull ''[[Benson]]'' bearing the Taiwanese ensign, so you have only four (4) guns instead of the five (5) on the ''Benson'' (B) Hull.+

?*[[Ship:Upgrades#Tier_VIII.2B_Equipment_.28Slot_3.29|Concealment System Modification 1]] is highly recommended as a universal Destroyer Upgrade but [[Ship:Upgrades#Tier_VIII.2B_Equipment_.28Slot_3.29|Steering Gears Modification 3]] is a viable alternative.+
?*[[Ship:Upgrades#Tier_I.2B_Equipment_.28Slot_3.29|Main Battery Modification 1]] is also highly recommended due to her weak turret armor and their habit of being knocked out or disabled. +
? +
?|Consumables=<!-- write text about selection of Consumables below -->+
?The Lo Yang has access to a variety of Consumables:+
?*Like all ships, she has access to the [[Ship:Consumables#Damage Control Party|Damage Control Party]]+
?*As a Destroyer she gets access to [[Ship:Consumables#Smoke Screen|Smoke Screen]] and [[Ship:Consumables#Engine_Boost|Engine Boost]], she benefits from smoke more as she gets US DD smoke, which lasts longer than other nations smoke. +
?*Like US DD's from tier 5 onwards the Lo Yang gets the option to use [[Ship:Consumables#Defensive_AA_Fire|Defensive AA Fire]] instead of [[Ship:Consumables#Engine_Boost|Engine Boost]] (Note [[Ship:Ships_of_U.S.A.|US]] Destroyers from tier 6 to 8 require the C Hull to use Defensive Fire)+
?*Like [[Ship:Ships_of_Germany|German]] Destroyers, the Lo Yang gets access to [[Ship:Consumables#Hydroacoustic Search|Hydroacoustic Search]], making her an excellent destroyer hunter as she can detect other Destroyers in smoke using Hydroacoustic.+
?* Being Tier VIII it is recommended to use premium consumables due to their shorter cool down duration, especially [[Ship:Consumables#Damage Control Party|Damage Control Party]] as the 40 second cool down will serve you better than the 60 second cool down.+
? +
?|Camouflage=<!-- write text about useful camouflage below -->+
?As a premium ship, ''Lo Yang'' comes included with [[Ship:Camouflage#Premium_Camouflage|Type 10 camouflage]] that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns. +
? +
?|Signals=<!-- write text about best set of signals below -->+
?*[[Ship:Flags#Signals|Juliet Charlie]] is the signal to use on Destroyers to prevent the "fun & engaging" Detonation, this flag is a must have/requirement if playing [[Ship:Game Modes#Ranked Battle|Ranked Battles]] or [[Ship:Game Modes#Team Battle|Team Battles]].+
?*[[Ship:Flags#Signals|Sierra Mike]] is a viable signal for ''Lo Yang'' if captains wish to use [[Ship:Consumables#Hydroacoustic Search|Hydroacoustic Search]] but don't like that they must sacrifice [[Ship:Consumables#Engine Boost|Engine Boost]], this flag brings ''Lo Yang''’s top speed up to 39.9 knots from 38 knots.+

?Detached from this duty late in January 1945, ''Benson'' returned to the United States for yard repairs and training during February. After a convoy-escort run to Plymouth, England, in April, the destroyer received orders to the Pacific. Accordingly, she transited the Panama Canal on 12 May and reached Pearl Harbor on the 29th. The destroyer spent a bit more than a month in Hawaiian waters and then got underway on 14 June to escort aircraft carriers USS ''Lexington'' (CV-16), USS ''Cowpens'' (CVL-25) and USS ''Hancock'' (CV-19) in their air strikes against Wake Island. Then, following upkeep at Leyte in the Philippines, she proceeded to Ulithi. Until VJ day on 15 August, the warship performed convoy and patrol duty between Ulithi and Okinawa. She served in the screen for the first occupation troops for Yokohama, who landed on 2 and 3 September 1945.+
? +
?In the two months following the surrender of Japan, the destroyer escorted five different convoy groups between the Philippines and Tokyo Bay. Ordered back to the United States for inactivation, Benson got underway from Yokohama on 4 November 1945 and moored at the Charleston Navy Yard, on 6 December. She was decommissioned there on 18 March 1946, placed in reserve, and assigned to the Charleston Group of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet.+
?On 26 February 1954, ''Benson'' was transferred to the government of the Republic of China, and she served the Republic of China Navy as ''Lo Yang'' (DD-14) into the mid-1970s. As the result of a survey made of her early in 1974, the Taiwanese replaced her with another American destroyer that the Navy loaned them in 1975, the former USS ''Taussig'' (DD-746), which then became ''Lo Yang'' (洛陽號) (DD-14). Meanwhile, ''Benson''’s name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 November 1974; and she was sold to Taiwan, presumably for cannibalization and scrapping.+
? +
?''Benson'' (DD-421) earned four battle stars for her World War II service. As of 2008, no other ship in the United States Navy has been named ''Benson''.+
