Bridgeport — U.S.A. Premium Tier VIII Cruiser.

An Oregon City-class heavy cruiser laid down in early 1945. The cruisers of this series were largely based on the Baltimore-class design with minor modifications, most notably, a revised silhouette intended to optimize air defense system efficiency. Her construction was canceled in August 1945, with the hull dismantled on the slipway shortly thereafter.

Pros

Timed Main Battery Reload Booster consumable available
AP shells with reduced chances of ricocheting
Improved concealment compared to Baltimore

Cons

No torpedo armament or access to Surveillance Radar
Lower base damage output than Baltimore
Lower manuverability than Baltimore
