Frank Friday — USA · Tier IX · Destroyer

A large, swift, and well-armed destroyer. With the onset of World War II, naval armament limitation agreements lost their validity, leading to the development of new ships with larger displacements. This allowed for significant improvements in many aspects of their design, particularly in their air defense capabilities.
