__NOTOC____NOEDITSECTION__
{{WoWs_Ship|Anno=
|Promo=''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was first made available in Early Access with Update 0.9.9. With Update 0.9.11 on 2 Dec 2020, she became a permanent tech tree ship.

Tech Tree Tier&nbsp;IX [[Ship:Battleship|Battleship]].</p><p>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.</p><p> </p></div>
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
Retaining the slow speed of the rest of the line, Minnesota is a big upgrade over Kansas. While having the same turret layout and guns as Kansas, the Minnesota’s AP shells deal 1000 more damage as well as having a higher sigma, 1.9 on Minnesota compared to 1.7 on Kansas. Minnesota also has access to Artillery plotting room 2 for an extra -11% to the maximum dispersion of the main battery guns, making Minnesota a potent gun platform. Compared to her fast battleship counterpart Iowa, Minnesota’s shells do less damage per shell, however Minnesota's broadside alpha is higher due to the extra turret of 3 guns adding up to a 153,600 alpha shot compared to Iowa’s 121,500.


While Minnesota is covered in a 38mm plating, the ship sits high in the water and the superstructure is covered in 19mm plating, making it susceptible to smaller caliber fire. Minnesota does not perform well in close range engagements with its slow speed of 23 knots, long reload of 40 seconds and subpar armor, she performs better at medium range where small caliber fire is not as much of an issue. Staying at medium range will also help to hit ships behind islands as Minnesota has flatter shall arcs and does not have super heavy AP shells like the fast battleship line. Having a sense of situational awareness is needed for Minnesota, as its slow speed can impact reaction time to a surprising salvo fired at the ship.
===Pros===
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
===Cons===
* Heavy broadside of twelve (12) 406mm main guns.
* Con 1
* Excellent main battery range.
* Con 2
* Ship sides are covered with a uniform 38mm outer belt, a good protection against HE shells.
* Good torpedo protection with 40% damage reduction.
* Tight turn radius and good rudder shift for a Tier 9 battleship
* Has access to {{Defensive AA Fire}}, further boosting her already good AA defenses.


|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Fewer hit points than fast counterpart ''[[Iowa]]''.
* ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' throws a lighter shell than ''[[Iowa]]'s'' SHS AP for less penetration and maximum damage, though oddly with the same initial velocity.  Her sigma is not as good, either.
* Worst reload speed among Tier IX battleships, a whopping 40 seconds
* Slowest Tier IX battleship, with a base speed of 23 knots.<ref name="Spd">With the <u>Swift in Silence</u> skill active and the Sierra Mike signal flying, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' maximum speed improves to 26.6 kts.</ref>
* Lacks the improved {{Repair Party}} found on other tech tree USN battleships.

Skill points and upgrades should be invested to maximize ''Minnesota's'' survivability and concealment, as well as her main battery. There are several ways to improve the main battery.

</div>


Slot '''1''': For playing at range, {{Spotting Aircraft Modification 1}} can be valuable.
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">

|-
| style="color:inherit;" | • Dispersion at 21.18 km || style="color:inherit;" | 272
|}
</div>


Slot '''2''': Also for playing at range where the ship is often isolated, and for general air defense {{Defensive AA Fire Modification 1}} is a good choice. The 48 sec. action time (and 55 sec. cooldown from the skills and flags) can cost the attacker dearly, perhaps allowing the delayed use of Sector Reinforcement until a second pass.

Slots '''3''' and '''6''':
* Coupling {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1}} and {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2}} will augment a stand-off-and-delete play style. With this configuration, take the {{Catapult Fighter}} consumable.
* Coupling {{Main Battery Modification 2}} with {{Main Battery Modification 3}} (and <u>Grease the Gears</u> commander skill) both reduces ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' main battery reload time to 35 sec. base and improves turret traverse, supporting a more close-in, reactive play style.  With this configuration, take the {{Spotting Aircraft}} consumable.

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.
