Primary armament

6 х Turret2 x 12 inch/50 Mk.7 cannon
Ammunition300 rounds
Vertical guidance-5° / 15°

Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: {{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.

Secondary armament

16 х Turret5 inch/51 Mk.7 cannon
Ammunition230 rounds

Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control Select secondary weapon.

Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.

Anti-aircraft armament

8 х Turret3-inch/50 Mk.10 cannon
Ammunition200 rounds

An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control Select anti-aircraft weapons. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.

Usage in battles

Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Large main battery of 12 guns
  • Can broadside fire all main cannons at once
  • Great secondary armament
  • Practically immune to cruisers while at range.

Cons:

  • Large target
  • Terrible mobility
  • Lacks coal bunkers
  • Abysmal AA capability
  • Long reload time
  • Only has access to HE and AP shells, no semi-armour-piercing.
  • Lower calibre guns compared to the super-dreadnoughts

History

The first wartime mission undertaken by the USS Wyoming was on February 6, 1918, in which the battleship was to escort a convey to Stavanger, Norway. The mission was a success, apart from the false alarm of German U-boats. Wyoming patrolled in the North Sea for the next few months, watching for a sortie by the German High Seas Fleet. On 30 June, Wyoming and the rest of the 6th Battle Squadron conducted a minelaying operation in the North Sea until the July 2. In December of the same year, the USS Wyoming was carrying Woodrow Wilson to the peace negotiations in Paris. During the interwar years, the battleship was demilitarized and primarily used as a training ship by the US Navy.

In the Second World War, the battleship was also used as a testing ground for new technology (such as new fire control systems). The Navy had considered reverting the USS Wyoming back to its former battleship state, though they decided against the plan. The USS Wyoming was decommissioned following the second World War on August 1st, 1946.
