Wickes — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier III Destroyer.

During World War I, the first destroyers of an improved design—flush-deck ships with greater displacement and firepower—were laid down, followed by the Wickes-class destroyers of the second series. The lead ship escorted transports until the end of the war. With the outbreak of World War II, Wickes went on patrol missions in the Caribbean Sea. In late 1940, the ship was transferred to the Royal Navy and renamed HMS Montgomery.

Pros
