?PERFORMANCE SECTION GUIDELINES+
?1. Write a brief intro paragraph of 1-3 sentences.+
?2. Write 1-3 paragraphs of "meat". Talk about what the ship does well, what it doesn't, how it compares to same tier ships of the same type, how it compares to the previous ship in the tech tree, whatever. Try to avoid quoting vital statistics to players unless it is really relevant (i.e. concealment); they can see those in the sidebar on the right and don't need them read back. +
?3. Write a brief summary paragraph of 1-3 sentences highlighting the key takeaways from the paragraphs above.+
?-->+
? +
?|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->+
?* Strongest gun armament of any tier 6 Battleship.+
?* Durable armor against sub-15in guns+
?* Low citadel+
? +
? +
?|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->+
?* Poor mobility, with a low top speed of 21 knots and inferior turning radius to other Standard-Type USN Battleships+
?* Weak AA, inferior (albeit very slightly) even to that of the ''[Arizona]''+
?* Covered extensively by 25mm plating, leaving ''West Virginia'' to be very vulnerable to HE spam and overmatch from guns larger than 356mm. +
?* Inferior detection radius compared to other tier VI American battleships.+
?* Main Battery range is inferior to most other tier VI battleship without {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1}}, although use of a spotter aircraft can aid in this regard.+

?===History===+
?USS ''West Virginia'' (BB-48), a ''[[Colorado]]''-class battleship, was the second United States Navy ship named in honor of the country's 35th state. She was laid down on 12 April 1920, at Newport News, Virginia, launched on 19 November 1921, and commissioned on 1 December 1923. She was sponsored by Alice Wright Mann, daughter of noted West Virginian T. Mann, and her first captain was Thomas J. Senn. After her shakedown and crew training were finished, she was overhauled at Hampton Roads, and later ran aground in Lynnhaven Channel. <br />+
?Following repairs, she participated in exercises and engineering and gunnery courses, winning four medals in the latter. She participated in other fleet tactical development operations until 1939. In 1940, she was transferred to Pearl Harbor, to guard against potential Japanese attack, and was sunk by six torpedoes and two bombs during the attack on Pearl Harbor. On 17 May 1942, she was salvaged from the seabed by draining the water from her hull. <br />+
?After repairs in Pearl Harbor, she sailed to the Puget Sound Navy Yard. There she received an extensive refit, including the replacement of her 5-inch (127 mm)/25 caliber anti-aircraft guns and single-purpose 5-inch/51 caliber guns with dual-purpose 5-inch/38 caliber anti-aircraft guns. She left Puget Sound in July 1944, for Leyte Gulf. <br />+
?She bombarded Leyte in November 1944, becoming part of a successful American plan to destroy the portion of the Japanese fleet trying to sail through the Surigao Strait, and later attacked Iwo Jima and Okinawa. At the end of the Pacific War she entered Tokyo Bay, for the Japanese surrender, and became part of Operation Magic Carpet, making three runs to Hawaii to transport veterans home. She was deactivated on 9 January 1947, and laid up at Bremerton, Washington, until sold for scrap on 24 August 1959. +
