She was launched on June 1940 and was built to be within the Washington Naval Treaty and London Naval Treaty which made her a challenge to design. This ship was first laid down on October 1937 in New York. Extremely poor torpedo defense at only 19% (compared to Amagi’s 28% and Bismarck’s 22%).USS North Carolina (BB-55) aka “The Showboat”.Small volume of secondaries compared to other Tier VIII battleships.Large citadel and not as well-armored as Colorado flashing her broadside to enemy battleships is suicidal.Dispersion can be unfriendly at times, and she can't mount Aiming Systems Modification 1 to improve it.Below average armor piercing shell velocity.Two turrets in the front give more firepower than Colorado when bow-in.16-inch guns fire the same super-heavy shells as Iowa and Montana, so the shell penetration and damage are devastating with good hits.Highest range of any Tier VIII battleship.Handles very differently from her predecessors.USS North Carolina is now preserved as a military museum ship in Wilmington, North Carolina. Her design became the basis of other American Battleships such as South Dakota, Iowa, then later, the cancelled Montana. Her Mark 6 Guns may be weaker than that of Iowa, but can still inflict very serious damage.
In contrast to preceding ships of the same type, she featured a thinner armor belt, but had very solid horizontal armor protection and a superior AA armament including numerous dual-purpose artillery. The key advantage over her predecessors of this type was significantly increased speed. North Carolina is an American Battleship featured in the game.
