Smith — American special premium Tier II destroyer.
The Smith class was the first American destroyer to be equipped with steam turbines and was the first type of seakeeping destroyer—she was almost twice the size of her predecessors and featured a high forecastle. Upon her commissioning, USS Smith was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet. During World War I, the ship participated in patrol and escort missions.

Player Opinion
Performance
The Smith is a unique ship in that it has single torpedo launchers. It can reload torpedoes every 11 seconds, however. This gives it a very interesting playstyle. Spam torpedoes at enemy battleships or cruisers, and they have a difficult time keeping up with dodging torpedoes every 11 seconds. You can fire two torpedoes if you engage the enemy in the rear quarters of your ship. The Smith is not a great knife-fighter, so do not engage enemy destroyers unless you have support.
Pros:
- Very fast firing guns for tier 2 ship
- Small profile
- Very fast torpedo reload
Cons:
- Very small health pool
- Very slow for a destroyer
- Least amount of torpedoes in single launchers
- Abysmal gunnery range
Research
None required due to premium status.
