South Carolina — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier III Battleship.

In the early 20th century, the United States reinforced its naval fleet by constructing several classes of battleships. American naval theorists, alongside their British counterparts, came up with the concept of a battleship armed solely with large-caliber guns. Upon her commissioning, USS South Carolina was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet. She played a role in safeguarding U.S. interests during the Mexican Revolution and participated in the occupation of Veracruz. During World War I, the battleship escorted troop convoys to France. After the war ended, she was involved in transporting troops back to America.
