===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Excellent Hydroacoustic Search
''{{#var:ship_name}}'', or ''Loyang Black,'' is a clone of ''[[Loyang]]'' with an attractive black skin.
* Access to Smoke Generator


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can be best summarized as a German version of ''[[Benson]]'', trading raw firepower for the ability to mount a powerful {{Hydroacoustic Search}} set.  Similar to ''Benson'',  ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' remains a highly flexible destroyer thanks to her potent combination of {{Smoke Generator}}, {{Hydroacoustic Search}}, and excellent concealment. Skilled Lo Yang captains can use those tools to their advantage to lock down capture points, duel other spotting destroyers, and provide torpedo screening for the fleet. Though ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a relatively difficult ship to play correctly, a well captained ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is able to support his team to victory.
===Cons===
* Slow shell velocity
* Relatively low HP


While ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a capable ship, her base stats are generally average with a few exceptions. Her base HP pool is mediocre for a Tier VIII destroyer with 14,600 HP at baseline and 17,400 HP with <u>Survivability Expert</u>. Armor is the typical Tier VIII destroyer profile of 13mm for her superstructure and 19mm for her hull; wholly inadequate for protecting against any shell aimed at her. Worse yet, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is woefully inadequate to deal with carrier attacks. She simply lacks the AAA to reliably stop the carriers from striking her over and over. Thankfully this is somewhat offset by her exceptional maneuverability &mdash; her tight turning radius, responsive rudder shift, and thin hull allow her to weave between enemy salvos and air attacks alike.

Unfortunately, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' offensive potential is average at best. Though her gun firepower is average for a Tier VIII DD, it quickly drops off at longer ranges due to the floaty shells both making it difficult to aim and retaining the energy to penetrate. Both of ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' torpedo options have notable limitations compared to other destroyers. Her stock torpedoes are the same as ''Benson'' 's stock torpedoes, having good range but low damage. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' alternative torpedo option has the same damage as ''Benson's'' upgraded torpedoes and are much faster, but at the cost of a low 6.7km range. It is the player's choice whether to run the safe but low damage torpedoes, or the high-risk high reward alternative torpedoes.

What makes ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' truly terrifying is her deadly smoke + hydro combination. When built for full concealment, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will have a surface detection range of 5.8km, better than the vast majority of the ships she faces. Combined with a {{Hydroacoustic Search}} that can spot enemy ships at 5.5km, enemies only have a 300m buffer to react before they stumble into her hydro range. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can then smoke up and attack the enemy destroyer with near impunity; the hydro providing spotting and the smoke hiding her hull. When employed properly, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can comfortably out-trade almost any DD caught in her trap even those of higher tier. This tactic is especially effective in capture points and near islands ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can set up ambushes and keep DDs even longer in her hydro range for her or her allies to attack. Still, this deadly combination is not without limitations. Radar ships can force ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' out of her smoke, with the Russian cruiser's 12km radar being especially dangerous. Enemy DDs can blind fire and launch torpedoes at ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' 's last known position, damaging or forcing her out of smoke. Finally, ''[[Z-52]]'' can completely negate this tactic as her hydro out ranges ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' own hydro.

When not employing this tactic, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' remains a very effective destroyer in the traditional roles of spotting and providing support for her allies. Her 5.8km concealment will let her out spot most enemy DDs with the exception of the high tier Japanese DDs and the British DD ''[[Lightning]]'', all of which ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can effectively engage. Some high tier DDs with similar concealment ranges can outgun ''{{#var:ship_name}}'', so take care to have smoke available or have nearby allies to even the odds. As a support ship, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is one of the best DDs around as she can lay a long duration {{Smoke Generator}} for her allies while simultaneously screening for torpedoes with her long range {{Hydroacoustic Search}}.

Once the core skills have been taken, captains can begin to customize their ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' commander based on their play style.  Captains focusing on a more offensive play style should consider taking Torpedo Armament Expertise, the 3pt skill Main Battery and AA Specialist, and/or Demolition Expert. Captains looking to play a support or objective-focused play style should consider taking Superintendent, Swift in Silence, Radio Location, and/or Consumables Enhancements. Of course, captains can take skills from both categories to fully complement their own play style.

==Gallery==
Detached from this duty late in January 1945, ''Benson'' returned to the United States for yard repairs and training during February. After a convoy-escort run to Plymouth, England, in April, the destroyer received orders to the Pacific. Accordingly, she transited the Panama Canal on 12 May and reached Pearl Harbor on the 29th. The destroyer spent a bit more than a month in Hawaiian waters and then got underway on 14 June to escort aircraft carriers USS ''[[Lexington]]'' (CV-16), USS ''Cowpens'' (CVL-25) and USS ''Hancock'' (CV-19) in their air strikes against Wake Island. Then, following upkeep at Leyte in the Philippines, she proceeded to Ulithi. Until VJ day on 15 August, the warship performed convoy and patrol duty between Ulithi and Okinawa. She served in the screen for the first occupation troops for Yokohama, who landed on 2 and 3 September 1945.

In the two months following the surrender of Japan, the destroyer escorted five different convoy groups between the Philippines and Tokyo Bay. Ordered back to the United States for inactivation, ''Benson'' got underway from Yokohama on 4 November 1945 and moored at the Charleston Navy Yard, on 6 December. She was decommissioned there on 18 March 1946, placed in reserve, and assigned to the Charleston Group of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet.

On 26 February 1954, ''Benson'' was transferred to the government of the Republic of China, and she served as ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' (DD-14) into the mid-1970s. As the result of a survey made of her early in 1974, she was replaced with another American destroyer that the U.S. Navy loaned them in 1975, the former USS ''Taussig'' (DD-746), which then became ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' (洛陽號) (DD-14). Meanwhile, ''Benson''’s name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 November 1974 and she was sold for cannibalization and scrapping.

''Benson'' (DD-421) earned four battle stars for her World War II service.  As of 2008, no other ship in the United States Navy has been named ''Benson''.
 
===Historical Inaccuracies===
* ''Loyang'' did not have any torpedo tubes when she was transferred to the Republic of China Navy. Both sets had been replaced by platforms for 20mm Oerlikons.

Loyang — Pan-Asia Premium Tier VIII Destroyer.

USS Benson, the lead ship of her class, was built at the Fore River Shipyard. In 1940 and 1941, she served in so-called Neutrality Patrols. Once the U.S. entered World War II, USS Benson escorted convoys in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean and supported the landings of the Allied forces in Italy. In 1945, the ship was transferred to the Pacific, where she escorted American aircraft carriers during operations against Midway Atoll. For her service during the war, she was awarded four battle stars. In 1954, she was handed over to the Republic of China, where she was renamed Loyang.
