-USS Wyoming gets access to a heavy AA battery of 8 {{Annotation|3-inch|76 mm}}/50 Mk.10 guns, arranged in single mounts 4 per side around the bridge amidships. USS Wyoming is in her 1927 refit, and as this is well before the advent of HE-VT shells, the {{Annotation|3-inchers|76 mm}} only gains access to time fused shells. It is recommended to upgrade "AAA gunner accuracy" and "Distance fuze set accuracy" crew skills to increase the efficacy of the AA battery. Once upgraded, captains can expect a steady flow of destroyed aircraft, usually against aircraft flying in a straight or predictable path. As Wyoming lacks any smaller 40 or 20 mm guns, aircraft taking evasive action are unlikely to be hit.

 During her wartime career between 1942 - 1945, she trained over 35,000 gunners and officers, and fired over 1,700,000 rounds of ammunition of all types - the largest amount fired from any US warship at that time. She was nicknamed "Chesapeake Raider" by her crew due to primarily sailing in and out of the Chesapeake Bay during her gunnery session. Other than her training duties, ''Wyoming'' was also used as a testing ground for new technology (such as new fire control systems). One of the last group of her crew were then-Ensign Jimmy Carter, the future President of the United States, who came on board in summer of 1946.
-USS ''Wyoming'' was decommissioned following the end of the war on August 1, 1946. Her crew were transferred to USS ''Mississippi'' (AG-128), another battleship that was converted for anti-air training and experimental purposes, and she was sold for scrap on October 30, 1947.

 When the United States became involved in World War II, the US Navy considered reverting ''Wyoming'' back to its former battleship state, though they later decided against the plan after reconsidering the ship's usefulness as an anti-air gunnery trainer. During the war, ''Wyoming'' would receive several refits to better accommodate her role as an anti-air training ship.
