Salmon — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier VIII Submarine.

The Salmon-class submarines were designed to be fast enough to participate in joint operations with battleships and have a sufficiently long range to operate in the inland waters of Japan. When Pearl Harbor was attacked, USS Salmon was conducting a patrol mission along the coast of Luzon. During World War II, the submarine carried out eleven combat missions, sank five enemy ships, and earned nine battle stars.

Pros

• Enhanced Damage Control Party consumable available
• Access to the Enhanced Rudder Gears consumable
