In the early 1940s, the ship underwent a major overhaul. During the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, she was hit by several bombs that caused an explosion in the main battery magazines, resulting in the loss of the ship and more than 1,000 crew members. A National Memorial was unveiled at the site of the tragedy in 1962.</p><p> </p></div>

===Pros===
'''Armor Layout and Survivability'''
* High survivability
* Great damage per salvo


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' 's armor layout will be familiar for players who have played the other US standard-type battleships. Similar to [[New Mexico]], ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is covered in 26mm exterior armor, including her bow, stern, and deck. Though she will bounce 356mm and smaller AP rounds when angled, AP BB rounds of 380mm or larger can overmatch her. In practice, this means ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can resist most Tier V and VI BBs by angling, though she can struggle against Tier VII and VIII BBs as they carry larger caliber guns. 26mm armor is also resistant to most DD and CL caliber HE rounds, though IFHE equipped or Tier VIII CLs can still penetrate her armor. To offset her mediocre armor, she sports one of the highest HP pools among her Tier VI counterparts at 57,400 HP.  In addition, she carries a sturdy torpedo protection modifier of 37%, only surpassed by [[New Mexico]]. Combined with her small turning radius and responsive rudder, she fares better than other BBs at surviving torpedo attacks. A well captained ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will tank considerable amounts of damage, remaining a threat even into the late game where many other BBs would be out of heals.
===Cons===
* Low speed
* Low maneuverability


'''Main Armament'''


While her armament is very similar to her tech tree counterpart [[New Mexico]], there are a few key differences that make ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' 's guns stand out. Though they share the same caliber, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' carries the older /45-caliber gun compared to [[New Mexico]] 's /50 caliber gun. In-game, this translates to a weaker gun performance including slightly slower shells, slightly lower AP damage, and slightly lower AP penetration. In addition, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is among the slowest reloading BBs in her bracket, being the slowest reloading Tier VI BB and only being faster than [[Agincourt]], [[Oklahoma]], and [[Kansas]]. Her turrets are also the slowest rotating at her bracket, requiring 60s to make a 180° turn. Worse yet, her smaller caliber 356mm guns cannot overmatch the bow and stern of Tier VI and above BBs as well as US and German CAs.  However, what makes ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s guns so terrifying is her improved 1.8 sigma, making her one of the most accurate battleships armed with 12 guns in the game. Compared to other 12 gun Battleships with 1.5 sigma, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will consistently land more shots on target thanks to her improved 1.8 sigma improving her accuracy. She rewards accurate marksmanship, consistently dealing massive damage to any broadside target she finds.

Similar to her tech tree counterpart, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s secondary battery can be considered mediocre at best. Her short range of 5km and poor damage output renders them ineffective even under ideal conditions. Though they can light fires, players should not depend on their secondaries for effective damage, especially against healthy ships charging in to launch torpedoes. Her secondary performance does not significantly improve even when taking secondary upgrades and captain skills, so players are advised to improve other aspects of the ship.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s AA can only be described as woefully inadequate. Her low AA firepower and relatively short-range means CVs will regularly launch 2 or even 3 consecutive attacks if she is isolated. It is best to seek out allied support to discourage enemy CV focus, whether it be sailing near friendly AA or requesting CV fighter support.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s maneuverability is a tale of two worlds. On one hand, her standard type US Battleship design results in her matching with [[New Mexico]] and [[W. Virginia 1941]] for the slowest Tier VI Battleship at 21.0kts. She will struggle to keep up with the ever-changing battlefield, whether it be escaping from overwhelming forces or exploiting openings.

</div>


On the other hand, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has a small turning radius of just 640m; useful for evading torpedo strikes or angling to the enemy.  Though her turning ability is hampered by a relatively sluggish rudder shift, this can be fixed with the right upgrade.

When fully built for concealment, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can achieve a relatively stealthy surface detection of 12.6km. This low detection complements her playstyle as she can remain hidden before she unleashes a devastating salvo on unsuspecting enemies. This also aids her defense as she doesn't have to run as far to drop detection. Skilled captains tend to position their ship at the edge of their detection radius, getting as close as possible to maximize their accuracy while retaining the ability to go dark.

'''Gameplay'''


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' plays very similarly to other Tier IV - VII standard type US BBs, being sluggish and modestly armored but carrying powerful guns. Players familiar with the tech tree US BB line will feel right at home as they share the same playstyle. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' should ideally play around 11-14km from the enemy, close enough for accurate salvoes but also far enough to escape should ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' be in danger of sinking. Due to her slow speed, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' should generally avoid positioning on the flanks as it isolates her from the rest of the fight should she be needed elsewhere. Positioning near the center offers more opportunities, but this works both ways and the player must position carefully to avoid too much focus fire. Regardless of where she spawns, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' players should seek opportunities to create crossfires with other BBs, positioning in such a way that the enemy must present broadside to her or her allies.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s power comes from her accurate guns and thus should focus on eliminating vulnerable targets to maximize her game impact. Broadside ships, DDs within 10km, and stationary CVs are all great targets that she can heavily damage. As her turrets have very slow rotation, using the ship's rudder may be necessary to help swing the guns on target. While the 35s reload can be punishing, players should be using this downtime to assess the situation and mark possible targets for destruction.

Though ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a powerful ship, she is not without her weaknesses. 21.0kts is very slow for a BB, and she can easily be run down by more powerful ships if she isn't careful. While her armor scheme is adequate against lower tier ships, it is notably less effective against higher tier ships so players should avoid tanking high tier ships for extended periods. Finally, just like in real life, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is extremely vulnerable to CV attacks due to her lack of AA. If she is unfortunate to be in a CV match, consider sailing near allies for AA support.

===History===
USS ''Arizona'' was a ''Pennsylvania''-class battleship built for and by the United States Navy in the mid-1910s. Named in honor of the 48th state's recent admission into the union, the ship was the second and last of the ''Pennsylvania'' class of "super-dreadnought" battleships. Although commissioned in 1916, the ship remained stateside during World War I. Shortly after the end of the war, ''Arizona'' was one of a number of American ships that briefly escorted President Woodrow Wilson to the Paris Peace Conference. The ship was sent to Turkey in 1919 at the beginning of the Greco-Turkish War to represent American interests for several months. Several years later, she was transferred to the Pacific Fleet and remained there for the rest of her career.
 
Aside from a comprehensive modernization in 1929–31, ''Arizona'' was regularly used for training exercises between the wars, including the annual Fleet Problems (training exercises). When an earthquake struck Long Beach, California, in 1933, ''Arizona''’s crew provided aid to the survivors. Two years later, the ship was featured in a Jimmy Cagney film, "Here Comes the Navy", about the romantic troubles of a sailor. In April 1940, she and the rest of the Pacific Fleet were transferred from California to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, as a deterrent to Japanese imperialism.
 
During the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, ''Arizona'' was bombed. She exploded and sank, killing 1,177 officers and crewmen. Unlike many of the other ships sunk or damaged that day, ''Arizona'' could not be fully salvaged, though the Navy removed parts of the ship for reuse. The wreck still lies at the bottom of Pearl Harbor and the USS ''Arizona'' Memorial, dedicated on 30 May 1962 to all those who died during the attack, straddles the ship's hull.


===Historical Inaccuracies===
<div class="b-popup"><div class="b-popup_head js-tech-nav_head"><div><h2>Historical Gallery</h2></div><span class="b-tech-nav_arrow"></span></div><div class="b-popup_content" style="display: none;"><div>
* ''Pennsylvania'' was the only ship of her class to receive a radar antenna on her tripod foremast in early 1942, after the Pearl Harbor attack. Thus the in-game model bears a closer resemblance to ''Pennsylvania'' than ''Arizona''. However, missing from this early refit are gun shields for the 5" dual-purpose guns and 20mm Oerlikons replacing the M2 Brownings.
* ''Arizona'' was never armed with 1.1" (28 mm)/75 quadruple guns. She was scheduled to receive them in early 1942 before she was sunk on 7 December 1941. Only her sister ship ''Pennsylvania'' survived to be fitted with the 1.1" guns.
* Aircraft catapult on 'X' turret is missing.
* Spotter plane has chrome yellow wings, which it carried from 1940 to early 1941; ''Arizona'' is in hypothetical 1942 configuration. Her spotter plane should have intermediate blue upper surfaces over gull grey undersides.

Arizona — U.S.A. Premium Tier VI Battleship.

USS Arizona, the second Pennsylvania-class battleship, was laid down in March 1914 and entered service two years later. During World War I, she was part of Battleship Division 8. Later, the battleship was transferred to the Pacific Fleet, where she primarily participated in exercises during the 1920s and 30s. In the early 1940s, the ship underwent a major overhaul. During the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, she was hit by several bombs that caused an explosion in the main battery magazines, resulting in the loss of the ship and more than 1,000 crew members. A National Memorial was unveiled at the site of the tragedy in 1962.
