The catapult turned out not to be operationally suitable for the intended purpose and was ultimately removed from Halford in October 1943. In 1944, the ship provided fire cover for amphibious operations on the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and the Philippines; she took part in battles in the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. During the course of World War II, Halford was awarded 13 battle stars.</p><p> </p></div>


|Performance=
===Pros===
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' sits in a very unique and rather difficult position due to it's "identity clash." Halford is first and foremost, a Fletcher-class destroyer that sacrificed a torpedo launcher, a single primary gun and bit of anti-aircraft capability for a catapult that launches 4 F8 float Bearcats with Tiny Timm rockets. Despite this unique addition, Halford is still expected to be actively involved in the battle, providing destroyer duties to their team. However, unlike other hybrid ships that permit players to control their squadron without any significant worry, Halford doesn't come with that luxury. And while the Tiny Timms do respectfull damage to the enemy ships, in the end, Halford plays like a worse Fletcher.

**A second squadron of attack aircraft has been added, which can be launched immediately after giving up control of the first. Both squadrons reload simultaneously: after the first squadron is launched, a 240 second reload timer starts ticking. When it finishes, it will have reloaded both squadrons simultaneously, regardless of when control is given up on the second squadron.

***Detectability range after firing main battery guns in smoke reduced from 3.3 to 3.1 km.

Revision as of 02:40, 30 June 2026

18,000 doubloons

Halford — U.S.A. Premium Tier IX Destroyer.

USS Halford, a Fletcher-class destroyer, received a catapult for a float plane in place of her aft torpedo mount and one of her main guns, allowing the ship to launch a Kingfisher scout observation plane. The catapult turned out not to be operationally suitable for the intended purpose and was ultimately removed from Halford in October 1943. In 1944, the ship provided fire cover for amphibious operations on the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and the Philippines; she took part in battles in the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. During the course of World War II, Halford was awarded 13 battle stars.
