Fun Facts: New Jersey is the Most Decorated Battleship the USN Have, the 2nd most Decorated, CVN-6 Enterprise being the Most Decorated of All USN Warships, the Most Decorated of all 4 Iowa Classes, Having Served from World War 2 all up to Post Cold War, earning 19 Battle Stars, until her Decommissioning in the 1990/1s. Shes also the Only Battleship in the Iowa Class that Fired her Guns more Often, aside from Off Shore Bombardments. The Ability "Freedom Through Firepower" is a Homage to One of her Nicknames, aside from Big J and Black Dragon, its also Named that cuz well shes a USN and Each Salvo from her 16 inch Rifles can and will Light up the Night Skies with Every Barrage she Fires. Lastly, Her Invasion is High, because shes a Fast Battleship, the Entire Iowa Class is, since the USN needed Escorts for the New Essex Class Carriers at the Time, these Fast Battleships were Used as Sort of Body Guards for Carriers, Giving the Carriers AA Cover and Protection aside from any Other forms of Protection Warships of their Caliber can Provide.

I have 1 rule and only 1 when it`s construction time (in events) Build 3 ships, and that`s it. Shinano event: 1 Shinano last day. NJ event: 6 NJ in the first week I suck at RNG

[@UnderAPaleGreySky]

Another point for NJ is that she also has a fairly high luck stat which ups her crit/eva rates even higher compared to say, FDG's -zero- luck.

[@CMTechnica]

Jersey's Dragon Breath skill is the reason I run out of excercise refreshes.

[@LtCWest]

Oh gods! I remember the day I pulled her. 170 pulls in, constant shortage of coins, running low on cubes (had 350 when the event started), less then a week left before the end of the event (that was before it got extended by a week), maximum stress. ^^ There I was in Discord, just chatting with friends when I noticed Ive had enough coins for another 10er pull, the lads knew how much I stressed out from trying to get NJ and encouraged me to stream the gacha pull. So I did. Loaded up the 10er and went for it. Headed over to the construction section and noticed something... The very first slot had a build timer of 6h30mins... NJs build time. INSTANT MFW! So I click on rapid construction and her animation starts playing... The crowd goes wild! I swear, I was in tears xD #StreamerLuck

[@Alice_Haukea]

I hear rumor that Azur Lane will never get Iowa herself and Yamato. Maybe that is true, maybe that isnt. But regardless, I have to wonder.... Would the 4 Iowa sisters copy after the KC or AL Kongou sisters in terms of outfits? In KC, the Kongou sisters all dress the same, while in AL they are all quite different. I wonder which approach the Iowa class would take...I may have just asnwered my own question, but still. At any rate, NJ is total waifu material and even if she were bad, I'd be using her no matter what. Its just too bad our first Iowa class wasn't Missouri because then we could get quotes/references from the movie "Battleship". heh

Due to how powerful her barrage is, she should be out damaging FDG (plus her faster reload).....and only costs 16 oil compared to FDG's 19 per fight.

[@mychaeldark1007]

FDG has too many FP boosts and gives herself a pretty large reload boost as well. Additionally when not giving herself reload boosting she's increasing her own crit rate. FDG is still Queen of crazy damage but NJ is not very far behind.

[@issacfoster1113]

Its already proven by many. NJ already had dethroned FDGs spot. She outdamages FGD most of the time. Due to that she is the best in slot while FGD now can be replaced by other BBs due to inconsistency.

[@Fishman465]

The Iowa class was made as a rather balance ship class (the Monata would be "US does a big f'n ship") her luck is 75 compared to Warspite's 90 something and FdG's 0. Her BB buff skill will only gain in value in the future as her sisters come out (basically the carrier take on the Essex class in that even the worst ship in the family will still be solid) Her barrage being similar to Georgia's is fitting considering that the latter was a prospective design for the Iowa class. She is a foil to FdG kit wise (FdG's selfish big stat stick kit) and Shinano (general demeanor; Shinano is sleep and demure while NJ's very likely and unreserved) Her release also sparks a possible new design shift in eagle union ships (considering Boise)

[@Hawk2zer0]

Yeah I was trying to find a good BB to work with on that, but the best really would be throwing her in Mob with Alabama right now...which I feel does step against her CV buff a bit since it'd be a "one trick pony" ordeal. Technically..both buffs would be more "one trick pony" I guess it comes down to which one you'd want more...

[@iamhungey12345]
