【PCgames 原创】美国海军战列舰并不像我们想象中的笨拙。美国工程师致力于将装甲覆盖于最重要的部位。这一方法让美国战列舰出奇地灵活，足以紧跟着同盟国的巡洋舰，航空母舰甚至是一些驱逐舰。 III Michigan 三级：密歇根级
USS Michigan and her sister ship USS South Carolinawere the first dreadnoughts of the US fleet. Eight 12in (305mm) artillery guns on Michigan were divided between four turrets: two fore and two aft. The turrets were placed in a superfiring arrangement where one turret was mounted slightly behind and above the other—quite an innovation for those times. 美国密歇根级和他的姊妹战舰南卡罗莱纳级是美国第一批无畏舰。密歇根级的四个炮塔上安装了四门305mm火炮，船头和船尾各两门。两个炮塔一前一后安装的设计在当时也是非常前卫的。 Unlike her Japanese counterpart Kawachi, she could use all her guns to fire a full broadside. As to her maximal speed, it left much to be desired: she would not go faster than 18 knots. 与日本对手河内级不同的是，密歇根级可以完全施展甲板边上的火力。但他的最大速度仍有许多不足，她的速度还无法超过18节。 IV Arkansas 四级：阿肯色级
USS Arkansas carries guns of the same caliber as her predecessor, but her firepower is significantly increased. The ship has twelve guns installed in six turrets. The layout of the turrets is quite unique: two of them are mounted forward, two aft, and two amidships. As a result, bow guns and after guns can fire straight and sideways, while central turrets can only fire sideways. The ship has the same level of armor as her predecessor Michigan, however her speed is increased to 21 knots. 阿肯色级装载着和上一级战舰一样口径的主炮，但火力却有了明显的提高。战舰的留个炮塔上装载着12门枪。炮塔的布局也是非常独一无二：两个安装在船头，两个安装在船尾，两个在舯。这样的结果是弓枪和尾炮可以向四周开火，而中心的炮塔只能侧身射击。阿肯色级拥有和密歇根一样级别的装甲。但他的速度提升到了21节。 V New York 五级：纽约级
The first super-dreadnought of the US Navy. She carried new more powerful and long-range guns with a caliber of 14in (356mm). Engineers had to give up one of the gun mounts to not exceed the designed displacement. The ship is armed with ten guns installed in five turrets. 这个是美国海军第一艘超无畏战舰。她带有356mm的新式大火力和大范围主炮。为了不超过设计时的位移，工程师们不得不放弃一杆机枪，最终在五个炮塔上安装了10门机枪。 Other than that, New York is very similar to her Tech Tree predecessor; even the speed remained the same—21 knots. 此外，纽约级与科技树上的上一级战舰相似，速度依然保持在21节。 VI New Mexico 六级 新墨西哥
The first “standard” battleship of the Tech Tree armored according to the “all or nothing” concept. The ship’s citadel is covered with a 13.5in (343mm) armor belt that can withstand large-caliber hits. Antiaircraft armaments also moved to a new level—USS New Mexico carries powerful 5in (127mm) antiaircraft cannons. 第一艘按照“全有或全没有”的理念进行装甲设计的标准级别战列舰。战舰堡垒覆盖有343mm厚的装甲，可以抵御大口径火力的打击。放空炮也提升到新的等级，新墨西哥级装载这127mm的放空炮。 Unfortunately, all these improvements come at a price of very low maneuverability. The same speed of 21 knots also leaves much to be desired. 不幸的是，所有这些改进都需要付出机动性的代价，21节的最大速度同样需要改进。 VII Colorado 七级：科罗拉多级
A new battleship and a new stage of US naval artillery development. USS Colorado boasts eight super powerful 16in (406mm) guns. The battleship inherited most of her predecessor’s advantages and improved upon them. She has equally powerful armor able to withstand large-caliber hits. A battery of 5in (127mm) antiaircraft cannons makesColorado a formidable adversary to aircraft carriers. 美国海军火炮发展新阶段下的新战列舰，科罗拉多级安装了八门超强火力406mm机枪。科罗拉多级在继承了上一级战舰的大部分优势的基础上再次改进，拥有可以同样抵御大口径火力打击的装甲。127mm的防空炮足以对抗航空母舰。 VIII North Carolina 八级：北卡罗来纳级
This battleship has a little less armor compared to Colorado, but she gained maneuverabilitymaneuverability instead. The increased speed of 27 knots allows USS North Carolinato act in a tactical formation with aircraft carriers and cruisers, and be more fast and agile in a battle. Powerful auxiliary armament is one of this ship’s strengths. She carries a battery of 5in (127mm) dual-purpose guns that are perfect to fight off light ships and enemy aviation. 北卡罗来纳级比科罗拉多的装甲要弱一些，换来了机动性的提升。27节的速度让北卡罗来纳级战舰更适合与航母和巡洋舰在战术上配合，在战斗中更加快速和敏捷。火力强劲的副武器是战舰的优势之一。她装着127mm的双管机枪可以完美地对抗轻型舰艇和敌人的航空火力。 IX Iowa 九级：衣阿华级
Engineering solutions used in USS North Carolina were further elaborated in USS Iowa.Iowa is a powerful and high-speed battleship capable of fighting in mobile task forces together with aircraft carriers and cruisers.The ship managed to maintain the same excellent speed and increase her defence and armor。 衣阿华级是在北卡罗来纳战舰的工程基础上进行改进。衣阿华战舰在移动作战中能够保持优秀的火力和速度，提升战舰的防御能力。 X Montana 十级：蒙太拿级
This battleship could have matched the legendaryYamato, if the project hadn’t remained on paper. The relatively low speed of 27 knots is compensated by increased armoring and excellent armament. While her predecessor Iowa has only three turrets, Montanacarries twelve 16in (406mm) guns in four triple turrets. Former dual-purpose artillery guns were replaced with more powerful and elaborate guns. 蒙太拿战舰足以与传奇战舰大和相匹敌。为了提升装甲和装备，蒙太拿战舰拥有比较低的27节速度。虽然上一级的衣阿华战舰只有三个炮塔，但蒙太拿战舰拥有四个三联炮塔共12门406mm机枪。靠前的两门火炮被火力更强和复杂的机枪所取代。 |
