A Fletcher-class destroyer that commenced her naval service in October 1943. The ship bears the name of Union Navy Lieutenant John W. Johnston, a distinguished hero of the American Civil War. Despite only brief combat service, USS Johnston engaged in numerous military campaigns that unfolded in the Pacific theater. The warship met her demise shrouded in glory during a fierce confrontation with a Japanese squadron under the command of battleship Yamato during the Battle off Samar on October 25, 1944 where her Captain Ernest E Evans was also lost. Johnston isn't just another Fletcher! Reflecting her fierce spirit, Johnston's main battery of five 127mm guns will be supplemented with a burst fire mode and SAP shells. Combined with her good concealment, these will make her extremely deadly in short engagements with enemy destroyers. Her burst fire is somewhat unique in that Johnston will actually put out more damage per minute in this mode than firing normally; captains will want to make sure they hit their first shots, which may be a challenge considering her typically bad ballistics. Backing up her main battery is the expected load of ten torpedoes; with characteristics similar to Gearing's, that will punch out to extreme range, albeit on a very long reload. Rounding out her arsenal are the Engine Boost and Defensive AA Fire consumables typically found on other USN destroyers, occupying the same slot. In terms of playstyle, Johnston will favor getting up close and personal with enemy destroyers and making quick work of them with SAP and burst fire. Aim will be key - if a burst is missed, Johnston's damage output will suffer, so captains may wish to use her normal firing mode to adjust their aim beforehand. Her long-duration American Smoke Generator and long-range torpedoes will allow her to put out damage on larger targets from safety as well, but of course, caution must be exercised when dealing with enemy Surveillance Radar.
