  1. ↑ During the Battle of Casablanca, a French shell shot through her national ensign. See trivia for details.
  2. ↑ The first turret's guns were named Clara, Jeannie, and Lydia. The second turret's guns were named Arizona, Utah, and Vincennes. The names of the third turret's guns are currently unknown.
  3. ↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
  4. ↑ A quote from Admiral Giffen, repeated by her first captain, Francis E.M. Whiting, before the Battle of Casablanca.
    "The time has now come to prove ourselves worthy of the trust placed in us by our nation. If circumstances force us to fire upon the French, our once victorious ally, let it be done with the firm conviction that we are striking not at the French people, but at the men who prefer Hitler's slavery to freedom. If we fight, hit hard and break clean. There is glory enough for us all. Good luck. Go with God."

Trivia

General Information
  • Named after the state of Massachusetts.
  • She was launched on the 23rd of September 1941.
  • Became a Museum ship at Battleship Cove on the 14th of August 1965.
Update History
Misc
  • Survived World War II.
  • One of the few kanmusus who have their real world counterpart still around. In fact, she also asks that we come to see her in her library line.
  • She is the only US Battleship that fought and engaged in a gun duel with another battleship in the European Theatre, against Jean Bart.
  • According to some records, she broke records in terms of long-range gun hits against Jean Bart.
  • Her damaged CG depicts a hole in her flag. This is a reference to a corresponding event during the Battle of Casablanca where a French 8-inch shell tore through her national ensign. The flag was purposefully larger in hopes that the French forces would not fire on the Americans. The original flag is currently on display in the museum ship.
  • The art of the small character shown on her remodel’s turret 2 is “George the Gremlin”. While painted by her sailors during the war, there is debate over the reason for the depiction of a gremlin. The original painting was recently discovered to be on turret 1, making the recreation on turret 2 technically erroneous.
