    [Ship introduction]
    Destroyer Laffey Ⅱ
    Laffey with Allen M. Sumner-class Type II rigging.
    Although she is still sleepy all the time, she has become more motivated in battle.

    The storage space added to the rigging makes it convenient to carry Oxy-Cola...?

    Available as event rewards!

    so just I can be sure, people are fine with these kinds of type 2 riggings because laffey and yorktown are/were an elite by default and a normal retrofit wouldn't be enough to put them as a UR. whereas bismarck was already an SSR so a retrofit would be better to turn her into an UR tier ship. right?

    I think the logic is, there were two ships named "Laffey" and "Yorktown" in real-life WWII, whereas there never was a second Bismarck.

    Laffy I is a Benson Class DD
    Laffy II is a Allen M Summner Class DD

    Yorktown (III) is a Yorktown Class Carrier
    Yorktown II (IV) is a Essex Class Carrier

    It should be noted that AL's Yorktown is the 3rd ship named after that famous battle the First being a 16 gun sloop of war, the 2nd being a gunboat, there is a 5th USS Yorktown a Ticonderoga Class Cruiser that is being decommissioned right now so at some point there should be a 6th built

    I have an idea on what it should be.

    Whatever that link was supposed to show, it doesn't. However it ought to be a Ford class carrier. Obviously we can't have a Hornet in the fleet now that the bugs are being used to name planes, but 2 out of 3 wouldn't be bad.

    It's a petition to name the fifth Ford-class "Yorktown".
