North Carolina - Tier VIII American Battleship 1941

The first U.S. battleship of a new generation. The key advantage over the battleships that preceded her was significantly increased speed. The ship was somewhat inferior to her predecessors in terms of the thickness of her main armor belt, but at the same time, she had very strong horizontal protection and excellent AA defenses that included numerous dual-purpose guns.
