Minnesota — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier IX Battleship.

A possible upgraded design of one of the never-built battleships of the South Dakota class. From 1941 to 1944, all conventional battleships of the U.S. Navy underwent significant modernization, including the addition of massive bulges that increased the ships' displacement. Those improvements included an expanded array of AA guns, seaplane catapults, and horizontal protection enhancements. Had South Dakota-class battleships been built and in service by the start of World War II, they would likely have undergone a comparable upgrade.

Pros

Great damage per salvo
High ship acceleration
High AA defense efficiency
Enhanced Repair Party consumable available (reduced cooldown time)

Cons

Low speed
Low rate of fire
