I'm the South Dakota-class USS battleship, South Dakota. From being an escort for high-speed carrier task forces to getting into surface brawls in the Southern Solomons[1], I'm a battleship that served admirably on the front lines. I was also called the Black Prince. What? Who are you calling a "Jinx"?[2] I wouldn't know anything about that.

Trivia

Her abyssal form is assumed to be the New Southern Battleship Princess.

General Information
  • She is named after the state of South Dakota.
  • She was launched on the 7th of June 1941.
  • Scrapped in 1962.
Update History
Misc
  • Her reputation as a jinx is possibly due to all of the following incidents:
    • Her career started with an engine breakdown in August 1942, but repairs were completed the next morning.
    • Following that, she struck an uncharted reef near Tonga in September 1942. Repairs and refits at Pearl Harbor took until October to be completed.
    • At the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, the only bomb that manage to strike her was a non-penetrating hit that still managed to take out her number 2 turret.
    • She collided with Mahan while returning to port after Santa Cruz.
    • During the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, a problem with her electrical system in the middle of the night knocked out her RADAR and blinded her.
    • In the same battle, she engaged enemies with her rear turrets and set her OS2Us on fire. The second salvo knocked 2 of the 3 burning planes overboard and put out the fire on the third.
    • Her electrical systems were restored, but the shock from the subsequent salvo knocked out all her electrics again.
    • In October 1944, she collided with Aldebaran.
    • In November 1944, anti-air fire from other ships in her task force killed some of her crew.
    • In April 1945, some propellant exploded in her turret while resupplying from Wrangell. Her crew was forced to flood her turret to prevent a detonation.
  • Survived World War II.
