Indianapolis exists purely for defense, with up to a 50% chance to halve incoming damage plus a shield skill that blocks enemy shots for the whole fleet, not just herself. She also buffs Portland's offense significantly when the two sail together, though the favor isn't returned.

Her shields only stop shots though, not torpedoes, so a torpedo hit can still deal serious damage, and evasion still matters even with the shield up.

Pairs well with: Portland.

Indianapolis is seen sitting atop the atomic bomb "Little Boy", whose parts she delivered during the last part of the war.

This atomic bomb would later be dropped on Hiroshima.

Her three 8 203 mm gun turrets can be seen placed around her.

Like her big sister Portland, Indianapolis is barely wearing any clothes, which is a reference to Portland class heavy cruisers being known for their light armor in comparison to their size and armament.

Obtainable through Large- or Special-Type construction (build time 1:50:00) or drops across every normal stage (chapters 1-12); easy to get relative to how strong she is, worth picking up.
