1 min readUSS Massachusetts, known as “Big Mamie” to her crewmembers during World War II, was a battleship of the second South Dakota class. She was the seventh ship of the United States Navy to be named in honour of the sixth state. Massachusetts has the distinction of having fired the US Navy’s first and last 16-in (406 mm) shells of the war.
It will be coming soon the game as a Tier VIII US Battleship and will most probably be very similar to USS Alabama. No details if this will be a Premium or Regular battleship, nevertheless, more information will be published once it’s known.
