General information

The USS Davis was the fourth ship of the Somers-class destroyers. Laid down in July 1936, she wouldn't be commissioned until November 1938. Notably, DD-395 is the 3rd USN ship to be named after Rear Admiral Charles Henry Davis, and wasn't the last either. She would go on to serve in WW2, not seeing much action. Beginning the conflict in the Neutrality patrol, once the United States entered the war she would continue to serve in the Caribbean and Atlantic theaters of operation. While patrolling for the Normandy landings, she would repel a German E-boat attack, before suffering damage from a mine and having to be repaired. She would go back to convoy escort duties for the remainder of the war, before being decommissioned in 1945 after the close of the war.

Introduced as an event reward for "Battle for Arachis" during Update "Wind of Change", USS Davis shares many similarities with other US destroyers of the rank. This includes the main armament of 8x 5-inch/38, which is some of the strongest for destroyers, with good damage and excellent fire rate. It does have a smaller belt than the Porter class, but in exchange it has much more crew, greatly increasing its survivability overall. This combination of firepower and survivability makes the Davis a menace when facing other destroyers and even many light cruisers. Additionally, the silver lion gain with the USS Davis is also extremely high; it has the highest modifier possible at 1,800%.
