[Fleet] [Development] USS Barker: A Sailor’s Guardian Angel Posted: 27 Jun 2018 12:45 AM PDT The USS Barker is one of the American Clemson-class destroyers that will be available to all participants of the naval closed beta testing. Her small size, high speed and deadly armaments allow her to effectively hunt both smaller vessels as well as support larger ships in battle. Briefly: A ship of the American Clemson-class destroyers, featuring great mobility, fast-firing cannons and hard-hitting torpedoes in a compact package. Laid down in April 1919, the USS Barker was part of the second production batch of the Clemson-class destroyers. She was completed by September of the same year and entered service with the U.S. Navy in December. In the interwar period, USS Barker visited several Turkish and Middle Eastern ports, before joining the Asiatic Fleet in the early 1920s. She cruised the Asiatic waters as well as performing patrols off the coast of Nicaragua before carrying out several visits to European ports in the late '20s. USS Barker was kept in the Asian theatre as part of the Asiatic Fleet until 1941, when the United States officially entered WW2 following the Pearl Harbour raid. Although the USS Barker doesn't seem like an attractive first choice for you to take out in battle, it may surprise the occasional captain with its performance, so be sure to give it a try in the closed beta testing on the next best occasion. Who knows, maybe the USS Barker is just the ship for you after all? For more information, read the full Dev Blog article on the Official War Thunder Forums![forum.warthunder.com]
