heylookabigmac Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The USS Arkansas would make for a great addition to the WW2 asset pack especially with the coming Pacific theatre. Not only would it be relevant in the pacific but would also be relevant to the Normandy map as it was there for the invasion. here is a brief history of the USS Arkansas in WW2 Following the outbreak of World War 2, Arkansas conducted neutrality patrols in the Atlantic prior to America's entry into the war. Thereafter, she escorted convoys to Europe through 1944; in June, she supported the invasion of Normandy, and in August she provided gunfire support to the invasion of southern France. In 1945, she transferred to the Pacific, and bombarded Japanese positions during the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. After the end of the war, she ferried troops back to the United States as part of Operation Magic Carpet. Arkansaswas expended as a target in Operation Crossroads, a pair of nuclear weapon tests at Bikini Atoll in July 1946. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
