About USS Maryland
Known as “Old Mary,” this American super-dreadnought is a sister ship to the USS Colorado. She carries eight powerful main guns, rapid secondary weapons, and a strong anti-aircraft battery.
USS Maryland’s armor is impressive, with a belt thickness of 343 mm. A large crew makes her highly durable in long engagements. Her main weakness is speed and slow turret rotation. This makes her ideal for long-range combat, where her heavy guns dominate.

About HMS Nelson
HMS Nelson is one of the most famous Royal Navy battleships in history. She features nine 406 mm guns placed in three turrets, all located at the bow of the ship. Secondary 152 mm guns are positioned at the stern, giving her strong firepower on both ends.
Her air defense is excellent, with 129 anti-aircraft guns across different ranges. This makes her far superior to her sister ship, HMS Rodney. The armor belt reaches 356 mm and is angled for greater protection. Despite her heavy design, HMS Nelson is easy to command, reaching speeds over 43 km/h with quick-turning turrets that can lock onto targets fast.
