AL Massachusetts - Tier VIII Azur Lane American Battleship 1942

The third battleship of the South Dakota class. Compared to her serious and straightforward sister, South Dakota, she has a more carefree personality. Though she has a muscle-brained, physically oriented way of thinking, her strength also fuels her desire to protect others. She tends to handle tough things on her own. From the Azur Lane game.
