* Con 1
''Smith'' is a unique ship in that it has three single tube torpedo launchers, one on each side and one near the stern that can fire to either side.  Her torpedoes have low damage, range, and speed, but they reload every 11 seconds!  This gives her a very interesting play style contrasting to the higher alpha strikes of the other low tier destroyers.  She can afford to randomly fire torpedoes at possible enemy locations. However with only a 4.5km range, this works best in confined areas such as the southwest section of Big Race and maps such as Islands which have lots of cover to allow her to get close. (Be careful not to hit allies!). 
* Con 2


Fortunately, while not fast, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is quite agile.  An amusing tactic is to find a low tier battleship and simply circle it faster than its turrets can turn, pumping torpedoes into it.


As for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' guns, they are the smallest and weakest in the game, rivaled only by ''[[Tachibana]]'s''. They don't do much damage, and the HE will bounce off an ''[[Umikaze]]''.  They reload quickly, but that's all they have going for them.

===History===
 
====Design====
The ''Smith'' class was the first series of true destroyers constructed under the provisions of the Converse Report.  Named for the convening admiral, the consequent Converse Commission was charged with determining the qualities necessary for future US Navy destroyers.
 
The primary characteristics decided upon were as follows:
* Must be able to operate with the fleet.
* Capable of operation in any conditions, including heavy seas.
* Able to chase down and combat torpedo boats.
Authorized by Congress in 1907, the ''Smith'' class would consist of five destroyers. They would have the distinction of being the last US Navy destroyers to be coal-fired, and the first equipped with turbine propulsion machinery.
 
====Service====
''Smith'' herself was laid down in March 1908 and commissioned in late November of 1909. She was assigned to the Atlantic Torpedo Fleet. Placed in reserve in 1912, she was reactivated in 1915 to take part in neutrality patrols off the US East Coast. In 1916, ''Smith'' joined the Naval Auxiliary Reserve for assistance in recruiting duties.
 
On 1 April 1917, in preparation to the US declaration of war against Germany, she was sent to New York City to assist with the detention of German merchant vessels in the harbor. ''Smith'' then joined the patrolling units off the US East Coast on anti-submarine and anti-raider duty until May, at which time she arrived in Charleston for repairs and refit.


In July, ''Smith'' was sent to Brest, France. There she served as an escort for both inbound and outbound convoys until the end of the war. During that time, ''Smith'' engaged in no combat.
<gallery>
 
''Smith'' returned to the US in 1919, where she was decommissioned in 1920. Scheduled to be sold for scrapping, she was instead used as a target for experiments in naval bombing.  Afterward, she was towed back to Philadelphia, but in 1921 was again used in the testing of naval bombing. After the second round of tests, ''Smith'' was again returned to Philadelphia and sold off for scrapping in December 1921.
