USS New Jersey (BB-62)
Iconic American battleship famed for heavy artillery and rugged protection. Its basic configuration doesn't support any missile armament, relying solely on powerful naval cannons and auxiliary grenade launchers for devastating clashes. Strong layered air defenses protect the ship and its allies. A unique onboard VTOL strike aircraft extends reconnaissance and also provides active defense against enemy aircraft.

Historical information
USS New Jersey (BB-62) is an Iowa-class battleship built during the Second World War and modernized in the 1980s. It currently acts as a museum ship located in the state of New Jersey. In the 1980s, the US Navy studied converting it into an Interdiction Assault Ship (IAS) by replacing the aft turret with a flight deck. New Jersey in the game is inspired by this proposal, but the configuration with an F-35 sitting on a helipad is entirely fictional.
