Her design became the basis of other American Battleships such as South Dakota, Iowa, then later, the cancelled Montana. Her Mark 6 Guns may be weaker than that of Iowa, but can still inflict very serious damage. In contrast to preceding ships of the same type, she featured a thinner armor belt, but had very solid horizontal armor protection and a superior AA armament including numerous dual-purpose artillery. The key advantage over her predecessors of this type was significantly increased speed. North Carolina is an American Battleship featured in the game.
