Annapolis - American Heavy Super Cruiser 1953

A further development of the Des Moines-class heavy cruisers. The key distinctive feature not present in her prototype is larger dimensions and increased firepower achieved by equipping the ship with an extra main battery turret.

 

Key Features:
The unique feature of Annapolis will be: "Alternative firing mode: Burst Fire". In this mode, each individual turret automatically fires off several shells with a short interval between salvos and then goes on a long reload. When the mode is activated, the characteristics of the guns or shells change depending on the ship.
