-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was laid down in November 1920, and commissioned in July of 1923 as the 5th of 10 [[Omaha (Family)|Omaha-class]] light cruisers. Her original design as a "Scout Cruiser" gave her class an unique armament with forward facing casemate guns as part of her main battery. She would go on to serve in WW2, the only theater she saw action in being in the Aleutians, bombarding Attu and assisting in the landings. She did however, notably bring 8 metric tons of gold and 12 metric tons of silver from the submarine USS Trout (which had evacuated it from Corredigor in the Philippines) to the US Treasury in San Francisco. She would serve uneventfully through the rest of WW2, and be sold for scrap in 1946.

-Being introduced during [[Update "Red Skies"]], USS Detroit was a reward for [[Battle Pass: Season IV, "Fearless Voltigeur"]]. Compared to her sister ship [[USS Trenton]], Detroit is in her 1942 refit, notably gaining access to an anti-aircraft battery of 20mm Oerlikons in addition to the {{Annotation|1.1-inch|28 mm}}, giving a large boost to the anti-aircraft capabilities. The Omaha-class has a distinct advantage when approaching the enemy bow in; the unique casemate design allows for 4-6 of the {{Annotation|6-inch|152 mm}} guns to be brought to bear whilst also lowering the silhouette of the ship.

 Located on the stern are two catapults with one SOC-1 scout plane each which provide unique offensive and defensive abilities, expanding tactical options. Ship-launched scout planes fly just like regular tree units but lack munition choices and cockpit views. Alongside the typical abilities of strafing, dropping 2 x 100 lb bombs, and capping zones, the SOC-1 and other scout planes have the added ability to lay down smoke cover (up to 3 times). Captains will be wise to remember to utilise the aircraft and consider when best to use it, for example to cap a point early or late in the match, to create a smoke screen to stymie enemy bombardment and repair, to attack enemy units directly, or perhaps something completely new! With two scout planes one can risk a cap attempt at the beginning of the match, saving the second for any opportunity that presents itself.
