===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Pro 1
'''Overview'''
* Pro 2


''Farragut'' is the Tier VI successor to the American destroyer ''[[Nicholas]]'', boasting improvements in firepower at the cost of survivability. Historically, the ''Farragut''-class was the first American post-World War I design, and the 5 inch /38 cal guns they carried would be a staple armament of all subsequent American destroyers until the end of World War II. Her role in game places focus on her excellent main battery, with her short-ranged torpedoes reserved for self-defense.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


'''Hull'''


Compared to ''[[Nicholas]]'', ''Farragut’s'' hull is a straight downgrade in terms of survivability. Although her handling is similar, ''Farragut'' comes with a substantial decrease in her hit-point pool and worse concealment. Compared to other Tier VI destroyers, ''Farragut’s'' speed and turning radius is average among her peers, while her rudder shift is above average. With a fully-upgraded hull and optimal captain skills, ''Farragut'' has 1,250 less health and 0.87km worse concealment than ''[[Nicholas]]''. As a result, ''Farragut'' has the worst hit-point pool and the second worst concealment values out of all Tier VI destroyers. These attributes make ''Farragut'' one of the squishiest destroyers at her tier, as most destroyers in her matchmaking bracket will outspot her and she lacks the health to take many hits.

''Farragut'' retains the same fast-firing 127mm guns as ''[[Nicholas]]'', but adds another turret near the center of the ship for a total of five. Compared to other destroyers at Tier VI, she boasts phenomenal firepower, with the highest and third-highest damage per minute for high explosive and armor piercing rounds respectively. In exchange for this raw firepower, she pays heavily in terms of shell handling. ''Farragut’s'' shells are among the slowest and floatiest in tier, making it difficult to lead targets at range. However, these high arcs also let captains shoot from island cover without fear of detection. Lastly, the 127mm guns that are used from ''[[Nicholas]]'' to ''[[Gearing]]'' all have the worst fire chance in their respective tiers for a destroyer at 5%. Still, her high fire rate gives her an above average fire starting potential for her tier.

''Farragut’s'' torpedoes are an afterthought and only useful for self-defense. Her launchers move to a centerline position, trading the ability to launch torpedoes on both sides of the ship for an 8 torpedo broadside. The biggest issue with utilizing ''Farragut’s'' torpedoes is that her torpedo range is shorter than her detection range even with her upgraded torpedoes. This means that she will struggle to utilize her torpedoes in the majority of situations, barring self-defense.

''Farragut’s'' AA suite is average for a Tier VI destroyer. She has a 5.8 km long-range aura and 2 km short-range aura. ''Farragut'' is one of the few destroyers at Tier VI that can output flak clouds. She puts up one flak cloud, with great continuous damage on her long-range aura but mediocre damage on her short-range aura. She has the option to boost her AA defenses by taking {{Defensive AA Fire}}, which gives an increased bonus to the continuous damage of tech tree American destroyers. Even with the consumable, her AA is only good enough to shoot down fighter planes placed on top of her, let alone strike aircraft from Tier VI and VIII aircraft carriers.

'''Anti-Submarine'''


''Farragut'' has very good damage output against enemy submarines, but can only capitalize on enemy mistakes without the assistance of allied spotting. Her depth charges are the best for a Tier VI destroyer, boasting an excellent alpha of 5,100 damage, best-in-class flooding and fire chance, and a consistent drop pattern that makes it easy to hit submarines. Due to her great speed and maneuverability, it is easy for her to chase down spotted submarines and not get outmaneuvered by them. However, she is reliant on external spotting, whether through {{Hydroacoustic Search}}, {{Submarine Surveillance}}, or the sub exposing itself in detection range as she has no tools to directly spot them herself.

'''Farragut (A)'''


As with other American destroyers, ''Farragut'' has access to a {{Smoke Generator}} with a 30 second dispersion time and almost 2 minute action time. She can utilize the smoke screen to create mobile cover and fire at enemies with her guns, or lay down cover for allied ships. Just like other American destroyers from Tier V to X, ''Farragut'' can choose between {{Engine Boost}} and {{Defensive AA Fire}}. Captains should take {{Engine Boost}} over {{Defensive AA Fire}}, as ''Farragut’s'' anti-aircraft battery is not good enough to take down a determined carrier strike. Engine boost allows her to quickly reposition around the map while increasing her acceleration rate and top speed.

''Farragut’s'' gameplay revolves around utilization of her excellent main battery. At the start of the match, captains should move near caps with the presence of allied ships to spot for the team. It is inadvisable to sail into caps at the start of the game, as ''Farragut’s'' concealment ensures that most opposing destroyers will outspot her. If possible, let an allied destroyer contest the cap, and support them with gunfire from a distance. Use her long duration smoke and firepower to push back enemy advances and to secure the flank. Once a flank is secured, start rotating to other objectives and provide gunfire support. Keep an eye out for unspotted enemy destroyers, as they have the potential to drop torpedoes into the smoke of unsuspecting captains.

|Research=<!-- write text about priority sequence of research below -->
Availability of researchable upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is as follows:
* '''Hull:'''  Upgrade to Hull (B) for more health and improved rudder shift time. Research of Hull (B) also unlocks progression to ''[[Mahan]]''.
* '''Gun Fire Control System:'''  Upgrade to Mk 6 mod. 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
* '''Torpedoes:'''  The Mk12 torpedoes travel faster and farther than the stock Mk11's for no change in reload speed; Hull (B) must be equipped before they can be installed.


As a gunboat destroyer, ''Farragut'' is best served by maximizing her health pool; this makes Hull (B) the first place to spend early experience gains. Her torpedoes are not useful outside of self-defense, so upgrading the Fire Control System module for increased main battery range before the torpedoes is recommended. 
<!-- Add the ship code here to populate the upgrade table -->
{{Ship Upgrades Section|code=PASD005_Farragut_1944}}


|OptimalConfiguration=<!-- write some general text about selection of optimal configuration below (optional)-->


|Upgrades=<!-- write text about best upgrades below -->
<!-- Consumables have to be tagged individually on a slot by slot basis -->
The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
{{Ship Consumables Section|consumables=
* '''Slot 1''':  {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 1:''' {{Damage Control Party}} (5.0s action, 40.0s cooldown)
* '''Slot 2''':  {{Engine Room Protection}}
* '''Slot 2:''' {{Smoke Generator}} (3 charges, 30.0s action, 160.0s cooldown)
* '''Slot 3''':  {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 3:''' {{Engine Boost}} (3 charges, 120.0s action, 120.0s cooldown) '''or''' {{Defensive AA Fire}} (4 charges, 40.0s action, 80.0s cooldown)
* '''Slot 4''':  {{Propulsion Modification 1}}
 
There aren't a lot of "out of the box" options in terms of upgrades for ''Farragut'' captains.  '''Main Armament Modification 1''' is the top pick in '''Slot 1''', while Aiming Systems Modification 1 is recommended for '''Slot 3'''.  '''Engine Room Protection''' in '''Slot 2''' and '''Propulsion Modification 1''' in '''Slot 4''' are both highly recommended in the interests of sustaining ''Farragut''’s mobility while under fire from enemy ships.
 
|CommanderSkills=<!-- write text about best set of Commander Skills below -->
Preventative Maintenance at Level 1 and Last Stand at Level 2 are easy recommendations for ''Farragut'' commanders.
 
Level 3 offers a number of good options.  Survivability Expert is a safe pick, buffing ''Farragut''’s health pool by 20%.  Main Battery & AA Specialist and Adrenaline Rush are recommended for captains looking to get more damage out of their main battery.  Superintendent is a strong choice if captains often fire from the cover of smoke. Inertia Fuse for HE Shells is occasionally useful, allowing ''Farragut's'' main battery to deal direct damage to same tier crusiers and battleships at the price of cutting fire chance by half.
 
Concealment Expert is recommended as the first Level 4 skill as it helps to cut down on ''Farragut's'' poor base concealment. Fearless Brawler can replace Main Battery & AA Specialist if captains want to min-max their firepower. There is risk involved, as captains need to put their ship into potential danger in order to utilize the skill.

Sierra Mike ({{Sierra Mike|Size=18px}}) is a must-have to increase ''Farragut's'' maximum speed. Victor Lima ({{Victor Lima|Size=18px}}) and India X-Ray ({{India X-Ray|Size=18px}}) are worthwhile picks to increase her firestarting capability. Juliet Whiskey Unaone ({{Juliet Whiskey Unaone|Size=18px}}) is recommended to increase the flooding chance of her torpedoes. November Foxtrot ({{November Foxtrot|Size=18px}}) is useful for reducing the long cooldown of her {{Smoke Generator}} and getting her {{Engine Boost}} up faster. X-Ray Papa Unaone ({{X-Ray Papa Unaone|Size=18px}}) is useful to increase her {{Smoke Generator}} duration.

The ''Farragut'' class was a series of eight destroyers built for the US Navy between 1932 and 1935. They were the first destroyers built for the US Navy since the ''[[Clemson]]'' class 12 years prior. They were limited to under 1,500 tons displacement by London Naval Treaty of 1930. Three of the class were lost during Typhoon Cobra in December 1944; no examples survive today.

Farragut — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier VI Destroyer.

After the signing of the London Naval Treaty, development began on a new ship class. It was based on the experience of operating smooth-decked destroyers and the study of German ships. The Farragut class received a transom stern, a forecastle-based turret, and a more cost-effective power unit. USS Farragut participated in repelling the attacks on Pearl Harbor, in the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the Solomon Islands campaign. She also escorted convoys to Kiska Island and escorted carrier groups. Over the course of World War II, the ship was awarded 14 battle stars.
