KIDD — American premium Tier VIII destroyer

Introducing Kidd, the American premium Tier VIII destroyer that pays homage to the legendary USS Kidd. This Fletcher-class destroyer has a rich history, having sailed across New York Harbor on her maiden voyage with the Jolly Roger proudly raised.

During World War II, USS Kidd played a vital role in providing covering fire during key landings on Bougainville Island, the Gilbert Islands, and the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. She also bravely fought in major battles such as the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Okinawa, showcasing her strength and resilience on the high seas.

After her illustrious service, USS Kidd was selected by the Navy for preservation as a memorial, along with two other ships. In May 1982, she was towed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she was lovingly transformed into a naval museum and memorial, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience the history and heroism of this iconic destroyer.

Now, you can own a piece of history with Kidd, a powerful and versatile destroyer that embodies the spirit of the brave men and women who served aboard USS Kidd. With her impressive firepower and maneuverability, Kidd is ready to take on any challenge that comes her way in the virtual seas of World of Warships. Experience the thrill of commanding this legendary ship and write your own chapter in naval history.
