Forrest Sherman — U.S.A. Special Tier X Destroyer.

After the construction of the large and expensive Mitscher class of destroyers, the next series was supposed to be a more economical option. The main focus of the design was on anti-aircraft rather than anti-submarine defenses. The main armament was represented by automatic single mounts with long-barreled 127 mm guns. In the 1950s and 70s, USS Forrest Sherman participated in training exercises and ceremonial operations.

This ship gains access to HE and SAP as main battery ammunition options

Pros

High damage per minute
Enhanced Smoke Generator consumable
