Mahan — American Tier VII destroyer.
The design of the new destroyer was supposed to increase the number of torpedo launchers to three, which was a compromise option to avoid excessive hull enlargement and reduction of her top speed. At the beginning of World War II, USS Mahan served to provide cover for carrier groups during raids on the Marshall Islands. The destroyer then took part in the battle near the Santa Cruz Islands and in the New Guinea campaign, and she also supported the landing forces in New Britain. On December 7, 1944, Mahan was badly damaged by a kamikaze attack in Leyte Gulf.

Player Opinion
Performance
The Mahan is a jack of all trades in sense of destroyer standards. Having the capability to stealth drop torpedoes gained in the 5.1 update, a good health pool, and fast firing guns that turn quickly. The Mahan is good at anything someone could throw at it, except for antiaircraft purposes. It is very flexible able to defend itself from Russian and Japanese destroyers adequately, and even more so with the B hull. Its main downfall is its detection range and antiaircraft. Overall, the Mahan is a excellent tier 7 destroyer.
Pros:
- Fast turret rotation speed.
- Rate of fire is excellent.
- 3
- 4 torpedo tubes.
- Large health pool for a destroyer.
- Long(ish) range torpedoes 9.2 km
Cons:
- Very Weak armor.
- AA guns are mainly for show and will rarely shoot anything down, even the hull upgrades don't do
- large silhouette and a large detection range.
- Shorter main battery range compared to the Farragut.
- Slow speed of 35.4 kts.
