Did you know? The USS Roanoke is named after the city of Roanoke, which is located in Virginia, United States.
Interesting: At the stern of Worcester-class ships is an area for seaplanes. However, it was decided to abandon air mounted capability during the construction process. Later on, helicopters and even the first experimental UAVs were placed on board the ship!
In your matches by Igor, Naval Game Designer:
“I’d use the USS Roanoke primarily against aircraft and cruisers, thanks to this ship’s rate of fire and weapon systems. Keep in mind the armor on this ship is great for light cruisers, its armor belt is enough to stop light and some heavy cruiser shells, but won’t help against larger shells. Avoid shooting at Battleships from longer ranges as they’ll eventually zone in on you and take you out, unless you’re really close to them.”
