This ship is based on an American design developed during World War II. [/b] The expiration of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1936 gave American designers free rein to come up with whatever they thought expedient to meet the needs of the Navy. By the end of the 1930s, a stringent situation had emerged in the Pacific, exposing the United States' need for heavy cruisers to effectively protect communication lines and aircraft carrier formations. Simply said, the country needed a strong ship with great firepower, high speed, and effective armor. By the year 1940, several projects had been created. The CA-2D design was the largest of them in terms of size and outnumbered all the other ones in main battery guns. This is the very project we used as a prototype for [b][img]https://glossary-wows-global.gcdn.co/icons/nation_flags/tiny/flag_USA_dd9fc06d19a8638f4077ab2fe200d227bf8ac8784efe8f3313be33ebbf37ae19.png[/img] [img]https://glossary-wows-global.gcdn.co/icons/vehicle/types/Cruiser/special_333a61069a325ba8314cbbae96c1a345c7b03ce9dd6c10cd486cc53c1855ef68.png[/img][b][b]X[/b] Puerto Rico[/b][/b] in our game. She’s armed with twelve 305 mm guns placed in four main battery turrets. The cruiser's AP shells have good damage-dealing capabilities and enhanced ricochet angles. The ship also has a large HP pool and solid armor protection. The cruiser is best suited for duels at medium to long ranges, but at the same time, she’s no less effective in supporting allies with her good AA defenses to repel enemy air attacks. Her Surveillance Radar is a must-have when capturing Key Areas.
