During World War II, she participated in patrol and escort operations in the North Atlantic, provided support for the landings in North Africa, and accompanied President Franklin Roosevelt to the Tehran Conference. In 1944, she provided cover during landings of the Allied forces in Normandy, then served in the Mediterranean and the Pacific. During the war, she received five battle stars. In 1955, USS Rodman was sold to the Republic of China Navy and named Hsienyang. In 1956, she collided with other ships twice, which earned her the nickname Ram.</p><p> </p></div>
[[File:Taiwan.png|50px|frameless|right|link=]]A ''Gleaves''-class destroyer (USS ''Rodman'', DD-456) built for the U.S. Navy. The ship was transferred to the Republic of China (Taiwan) in 1955. The ship's armament consisted of dual-purpose main battery guns and two quintuple torpedo tubes.


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Pro 1
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will feel very similar to captains with experience playing Tier VIII American destroyer ''[[Benson]]''.  ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' and ''Benson'' have very similar anti-aircraft damage values, and both have the same main battery guns with a high rate of fire capable of crippling opposing destroyers. 
* Pro 2


While the ships themselves may be similar, the way the two engage in combat is quite different.  ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has 12.5km upgraded main battery range, more than the ''Benson'', which allows her to fire upon opponents from farther away. However, the most notable tool the ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' and other Pan-Asian destroyers have are their deep water torpedoes. While they cannot hit other destroyers, they are lethal against all other classes of ship and have higher flooding chance. These torpedoes are super stealthy and can only be surface spotted 0.7km away, giving enemy targets minimal time to evade. In comparison, ''Benson''’s upgraded torpedoes are surface spotted from 1.1km away.  These hard-to-dodge deep water torpedoes, combined with the rapid rate of fire of the main battery guns, makes ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' very good in dealing damage over time on enemy targets.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


Also noteworthy is the fact that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is the first Pan-Asian destroyer to gain access to the {{Surveillance Radar}} consumable. This allows ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' to sneak up to unsuspecting enemy ships in a smoke cloud or cover and expose them to allied ships. However, her {{Surveillance Radar}} is fairly short-ranged, so effective usage of the radar may require a captain to put ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' at risk.  In addition, the 15 second duration is a very short window of time to allow allies to shoot at targets detected by {{Surveillance Radar}}, thus it is somewhat impractical for spotting damage. Rather, the {{Surveillance Radar}} is more useful as a tool for gaining information on the enemy ships' whereabouts and to scare enemy ships into abandoning their position and relocating.


For captains who opt out of {{Surveillance Radar}}, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' comes with the Pan-Asian version of {{Smoke Generator}} that veterans of the line will be familiar with.  In contrast to the smoke from American destroyers — that has both a long emission time and a long duration — the Pan-Asian {{Smoke Generator}} is active for a long duration but the smoke itself dissipates fairly quickly. For ''{{#var:ship_name}}'', the {{Smoke Generator}} is active for 30 seconds and dissipates in 70 seconds.  These smoke characteristics allow ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' to create long smoke lines to smoke up a strategic point, cover up allies, and/or provide cover to shoot out from.

* '''Hull:'''  Upgrade to Hull (B) for a speedier rudder shift, more health, and a very minor uptick in AA. Research of this module unlocks progression to ''[[Chung Mu]]''.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
* '''Torpedoes:'''  The torpedo upgrade is largely a buff; the additional range and damage are welcome, but the lower speed may leave some captains preferring the stock torpedoes.

Hull (B) should be the first place to spend experience. Truthfully, the torpedo and GFCS module upgrades can be considered optional; landing shells with ''Hsienyang''’s guns at long range is challenging enough without additional range, and the improved torpedo module may not appeal to all captains.

|Upgrades=<!-- write text about best upgrades below, add * after upgrade link to designate that another upgrade may be viable -->
The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
*'''Slot 1''':  {{Main Armaments Modification 1}} in order to preserve the functionality of her main battery guns and torpedo launchers.
*'''Slot 2''':  {{Engine Room Protection}} <nowiki>*</nowiki> in order to keep ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' moving.
*'''Slot 3''':  {{AA Guns Modification 1}}<nowiki>*</nowiki> in order to boost her anti-aircraft abilities.
*'''Slot 4''':  {{Propulsion Modification 1}} in order to get her moving quickly.
*'''Slot 5''':  {{Concealment System Modification 1}} in order to maximize her stealth.


'''Upgrade Slot 2''' may also be filled in by {{Smoke Generator Modification 1}} for captains that want to maximize the {{Smoke Generator}} active time to 39 seconds. '''Upgrade Slot 3''' may also be filled in by {{Engine Boost Modification 1}} to boost the {{Engine Boost}} active time to 180 seconds.

|CommanderSkills=<!-- write text about best set of Commander Skills below -->
</div></div></div>
Key skills for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' commanders include Priority Target, Last Stand, Survivability Expert, and Concealment Expert for the first ten points. Adrenaline Rush is highly recommended as well, however Last Stand is more important. There are many different 3 point skills to choose from; Basic Firing Training and Demolition Expert are useful skills for players who want a gunboat build, while Torpedo Armament Expertise is a skill for those that choose a torpedo boat based build. Superintendent is also a highly recommended 3 point skill to take. Advanced Firing Training may be useful for players that prefer to shoot from longer distances, but in return that increases the range that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will be spotted from while firing.

===History===
<gallery>
USS ''Rodman'' (DD-456/DMS-21), a ''Gleaves''-class destroyer, is the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for Admiral Hugh Rodman.
''Rodman'' was laid down on 16 December 1940 by the Federal Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Kearny, New Jersey and launched on 26 September 1941; sponsored by Mrs. Albert K. Stebbins, Jr., grandniece of Admiral Rodman. The destroyer was commissioned on 27 January 1942, Commander William Giers Michelet in command.<br />
<br />
Reclassified DD-456 on 15 January 1955, she decommissioned 28 July 1955 and was transferred the same day to the Republic of China to serve as RCS ''Hsienyang'' (DD-16). In this service she became infamous for being involved in collisions twice in 1956 and was subsequently nicknamed "Gōng Yáng" ("ram"). After she ran aground c. 1969, her new name and pennant number were reassigned to the former ''USS Macomb'', which was acquired in 1970.<br />
Rodman earned five battle stars during World War II.

===Historical Inaccuracies===
* ''Hsienyang'' did not have any torpedoes tubes when she was transferred to Taiwan. Both sets had been removed in summer 1945.

Hsienyang — Pan-Asia Tech Tree Tier VIII Destroyer.

The Gleaves-class USS Rodman was laid down at the shipyards of the Federal Shipbuilding Company in December 1940. During World War II, she participated in patrol and escort operations in the North Atlantic, provided support for the landings in North Africa, and accompanied President Franklin Roosevelt to the Tehran Conference. In 1944, she provided cover during landings of the Allied forces in Normandy, then served in the Mediterranean and the Pacific. During the war, she received five battle stars. In 1955, USS Rodman was sold to the Republic of China Navy and named Hsienyang. In 1956, she collided with other ships twice, which earned her the nickname Ram.
