Monaghan — U.S.A. Premium Tier VI Destroyer.

USS Monaghan, a Farragut-class destroyer, was the duty ship during the raid on Pearl Harbor, and she was one of the first to open fire on Japanese aircraft. The destroyer participated in the Battle of the Coral Sea, Battle of Midway, and Battle of the Commander Islands. Monaghan escorted aircraft carriers participating in the landing on the Marshall Islands, Saipan, and Guam. On December 17, 1944, the destroyer was sunk by Typhoon Cobra east of the Philippines. Over the course of World War II, the ship was awarded 12 battle stars.

This ship gets a choice of hull module, which drastically alters the performance of the ship.
