My father served on the Des Moines. He said that, when she was firing her big guns, you couldn’t be anywhere topside or you’d be blown right off the ship from the concussion. Badass ship

watching in 2018: hears "No ship is better than the Des Moines in sweeping enemy planes"
Worcester: Allow me to introduce myself.

3 Des Moines in a div... Scary shit...

Now 3 Yamato's a div... Good god...

My Dad served on that ship. God Bless You All.

Despite everything that’s come, Des Moines is still a really fun heavy cruiser to play when facing any warship type, shreds planes like a pro among heavy cruisers, haunts destroyers and light cruisers with the advantages of both heavy and light cruisers, pummels heavy cruisers, and flippin melts battleships.

well, you guys HAVE TO SUFFER in tier 7&8 to get this op ship

[pancakepredator]

Can everyone stop bitching about it being an op ship? You people are always waiting for that one super badass ship or tank or whatever and then when it comes you're like its killing me mama" there's gonna be always one thing. Besides, its not a fucking battleship, any decent battleship captain can crush it.

Aside from the fact that this is the most broken OP shop in the game..

Can't tell if the narrator just did some speed, or if the script writer forgot to add punctuation...

[braize]

Either way, this is a very solid ship. Any BB or CV player will tell you that they fear this ship above all others. It does it's job, as it should.

Merry Christmas and a good day. I like the way it works

[karonic]

It's almost funny that no one ever points out DM has 27mm armor all around, which is overmatched by every single battleship in its matchmaking tier save the tirpitz and bismarck. It's the squishiest cruiser of them all

[kraigthorne]

The one thing that was left out of the video is that the main guns can hit aerial targets more than 10 miles away at more than 20, 000 feet. With the use of a proximity fuse the USS De Moines can create a wall of hot steal 500 M x 1 KM every 6 seconds.

I purchased the ship today 2 hours ago.

[Cincinnatus]

My Dad was on this ship for awhile . He had the name of it and all the other ships he was on tattooed on his arm.

Great rate of fire, not so great accuracy

[andryu_]

I main cruisers and was trying for a lo g time.for Des Moines. Loved the Buffalo (she was a citadel shredder for me) but, my Des Moines has a reload of 4.8 seconds thanks to my build for her. Great fun to plzy. At distance (15 km) I can gwt almost three vollies in the air before the first one hits.
