USS Forrest Sherman In-Game Flag

The destroyer was named after Admiral Forrest Sherman (1896–1951). The ship's badge features the top of the mast with a warship pennant that carries four admiral stars (corresponding to Sherman's rank) instead of the required seven. The pennant's cloth flutters in the shape of the letter "S"—the first letter of the admiral's last name.

 

Key Features:
The ship is armed with three rapid-firing 127 mm guns with HE and SAP shells. Her torpedo armament consists of four 533 mm single-tube torpedo launchers, placed in pairs on both the port and starboard sides. The torpedo launchers have a very narrow aiming sector. The torpedoes themselves are identical to the Mk17 used on Gearing, but have a faster reload. The ship has access to the Smoke Generator, Engine Boost, and Defensive AA Fire consumables in different slots.
