Description
The Delaware-class, USS North Dakota (BB-29), 1919 is a rank V American battleship
with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "New Power".
General info
Survivability and armour
Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.
Mobility
Spaded Top Speed Forward 40 km/h and in Reverse 18 km/h in Realistic Battles.

Usage in battles
Your main goal as a battleship (dreadnaught) in Realistic battles that also include "Naval EC" is to fight and control the battlefield with your high-calibre shells, mainly targeting heavy cruisers and battleships, due to lacking any high-explosive shells. It is not advisable to shoot at light cruisers due to your high penetration armour-piercing shells (487 mm at 1 km). Though you still can shoot at them, however, your effectiveness will go down when compared to shooting at heavy cruisers and battleships. These rounds will still do major damage to the interior of the ship. Stay near allies that can be helpful with taking down enemies larger than heavy cruisers. It is recommended not to be part of the main force to push onto the battlefield, your ship is slower compared to the other ships that you will be fighting, and if a fight goes sour you can easily be overrun and defeated by the enemy due to focus firing while trying to retreat to a more advantageous position.
Stay near friendly ships that can support in the anti-air area, this battleship has very poor anti-air defence capabilities and what little anti-aircraft it does receive are 2 x 3-inch guns. A list of ships to stay near during battles, these ships can support you with a volume of different but strong anti-aircraft support. There are other ships that can support your ship but with the size and speed of this ship, the ships you need to stay by either need, long-range anti-aircraft, or mass of shells anti-aircraft. A good list is below:

Pros and cons
Pros:
- First iteration battleships War Thunder Introduced in Update "New Power".
- Large calibre shells
- Can take a quite of bit of damage
Cons:
- Slow
- Lack of anti-aircraft support
- Long reloads
- Lack of high-explosive rounds for the main cannons
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the ship;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
