General information
Introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X", the USS Trenton is an exciting cruiser whose gameplay requires an in-depth knowledge of the ship's strengths and weaknesses. The ship is not suitable for beginners due to its low survivability (for a cruiser) and slow reload. In reality, with scant armour and only 458 crew members, the USS Trenton is marginally more survivable than many of the destroyers it will encounter. As a result, it is vital to make use of available cover to avoid being destroyed by the several powerful cruisers that the USS Trenton confronts in battle regularly. Furthermore, the Trenton has a slow-reloading main gun battery with a low traverse speed, thus it is slow to react and switch targets.
