Volunteer State — USA · Tier VIII · Battleship

The Tennessee-class battleships were a direct evolution of the New Mexico class, distinguished not only by their silhouette but also by enhanced torpedo protection and a revised secondary artillery layout. Following Pearl Harbor, USS Tennessee underwent two modernizations that altered her appearance and significantly bolstered the ship's defenses against air strikes and underwater attacks. The battleship had an eventful combat career during the Pacific War, participating in key engagements such as the Battle of Surigao Strait and the landings on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. USS Tennessee earned ten battle stars during her service.
