Hmmm, tough choice here... Buchanan has more fighting in her resume, while the Somers would be a good choice because we have so few DD in game with an armament that was made more for the Atlantic Theatre..
USS Somers - class we do not have yet. Intercepted three German blockade runners in the Atlantic, Battle of Port Cros in the Med, 2 Battle Stars USS Buchanan - Benson/Gleaves class (we have only done one of the 99 built) Battle of Savo Island, Battle of Cape Esperance, Battle of Kolombangara, sank IJN submarine RO-37, Battle of Karavia Bay, Iwo Jima and Okinawa invasions, carried General MacArthur to the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay for the surrender signing. Presidential Unit Citation and 16 Battle Stars.
