The ''New York'' class of battleship was a class of ships designed and constructed by the United States Navy between 1908 and 1914. The two ships of the class, USS ''New York'' (BB-34) and USS ''[[Texas]]'' (BB-35), each saw extensive service beginning in the occupation of Veracruz, World War I, and World War II.<br /> | The ''New York'' class of battleship was a class of ships designed and constructed by the United States Navy between 1908 and 1914.

Designed as a more heavily armed improvement over the previous ''[[Wyoming]]'' class, the ''New York'' class was the first battleship to feature the 14"/45 caliber gun, but was one of the last battleship classes designed with several features, including a five-turret layout and coal for fuel. The class also suffered several deficiencies such as a lack of anti-aircraft weaponry and armor layout, which were addressed with the subsequent ''Nevada'' class. Because of these deficiencies, both ships saw several extensive overhauls over the course of their careers which greatly changed their profiles.<br /> | Designed as a more heavily armed improvement over the previous ''[[Wyoming]]'' class, the ''New York'' class was the first battleship to feature the 14"/45 caliber gun, but was one of the last battleship classes designed with several features, including a five-turret layout and coal for fuel.

Both ''New York'' and ''Texas'' entered service in 1914 and immediately served in the occupation of Veracruz, and service reinforcing the Grand Fleet in the North Sea during World War I, during which time ''New York'' is believed to have sunk a U-boat in an accidental collision. Both ships undertook numerous training exercises and overhauls during the interwar era, and joined the Neutrality Patrol at the beginning of World War II. Outmoded by more advanced battleships in service, both ships served primarily as convoy escorts and naval artillery during the war. ''New York'' supported Operation Torch in North Africa, undertook convoy patrols and training in the Atlantic, and supported the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa. ''[[Texas]]'' supported Operation Torch, Operation Overlord, the bombardment of Cherbourg, Operation Dragoon and the battles at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Following the war, ''New York'' was used as a target ship in Operation Crossroads and sunk as a target in 1948, while ''Texas'' was converted into a museum ship, and remains permanently moored near Houston at San Jacinto State Park today. | Both ''New York'' and ''Texas'' entered service in 1914 and immediately served in the occupation of Veracruz, and service reinforcing the Grand Fleet in the North Sea during World War I, during which time ''New York'' is believed to have sunk a U-boat in an accidental collision.

New York — American Tier V battleship.
Developed from the Wyoming class. In contrast to her predecessor, she featured reinforced armor and main battery guns of a larger caliber. When upgraded, she received reasonably good AA defense and improved torpedo protection.

Player Opinion
Performance
The first American superdreadnought, New York is a substantial firepower upgrade from Wyoming with ten (10) 14-inch main guns. These guns can penetrate most targets within two tiers of her. New York is a very short battleship at 573 feet long and, combined with better accuracy than its predecessor, this concentration of firepower means she is a very dangerous target to broadside at short-to-medium range. The midships turret has a very limited engagement arc to either side and usually has to be brought to bear by turning the hull. In terms of protection she is heavily and reliably armored against lateral fire but her deck armor is ineffective against most battleship rounds she will meet, so long-range duels and exposure are best avoided.
Pros:
- Heavily armed with a strong broadside with 10x14" guns in five twin turrets.
- Compact and well armored.
- Upgraded AA is significant for tier and a major hazard to Tier IV carriers.
- Much more heavily armored and armed than her Japanese counterpart, Kongo.
Cons:
- Stock hull reverts from elite World War II Wyoming to World War I era including ineffective AA, poor penetration and extreme sluggishness.
- Worse speed and range compared to Kongo even when upgraded.
- Torpedoes are almost a death sentence as the magazines are all along the hull, which leaves a very high chance of detonations.
- Very narrow full salvo firing arc, which means you'd have to either show your broadside or don't even bother using 3rd turret.
- Mediocre AA
- Cannot take a full beating, unlike the Kongo due to poor armor scheme, despite having toughest armor.
- Virtually no secondaries on upgraded hull.
Research
The stock engines are unusable and will leave you trailing dangerously behind even American Standard battlelines so pursue that upgrade immediately. Afterwards, the hull (the class' WWII refit) is a comprehensive improvement that is much more important to the ship than better fire control.

Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip New York with Type 15 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
