===Laffey===
Update 14.7 lays the keel of a new ship at the Dockyard—you can add X [[Laffey]] to your fleet by building her! USS Laffey is a renowned Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer that made her mark in history during WWII, even partaking in the Normandy landings. X [[Laffey]] is most notable for surviving six kamikaze strikes and four bomb hits during the Battle of Okinawa.

===In-game role===
:*Main battery–focused destroyer with strong concealment.
:*Features: Improved {{Defensive AA Fire}}, Burst Fire mode, and an enhanced Specialized Repair Teams.
:*Special time-based {{Smoke Generator}}.
:*'''Downsides:''' Short-range torpedoes, short overall smoke time capacity, modest speed, and a small hit-point pool.

===Construction Process===
:*Progress through 20 Dockyard phases. 
:*18 phases can be completed via dedicated combat missions (including the Underwater Explosion enemy destruction effect).
:*2 phases must be purchased for 3,000 Doubloons each.
:*Starter packs: 2-phase for 5,000 Doubloons and 6-phase for Doubloons 12,500 (available until you complete 4 phases via missions).
:*Missions available throughout Update 14.7 and most of 14.8, ending 2 days before Update 14.9.
