Is San Diego good?

San Diego posts the highest anti-air stat of any character, backed by a 175% AA gun damage bonus that leaves her close to unmatched against carrier planes. She also buffs the fleet's anti-air on activation, stacking further protection against air raids.

Outside anti-air maps she offers little, since her other stats and skills don't extend past that role.

Strengths

  • Best-in-class anti-air stat and gun damage bonus
  • Buffs allied AA on skill activation

Weaknesses

  • Narrow use case outside anti-air-heavy maps

Profile

San Diego is voiced by Itou Asuka in Japanese.

I'm told I'm the ship that got the second-most stars after big sister Enterprise! I don't really get what the stars mean, but it sounds amazing! Um, commander, what's this? A-me-ri-ca? Is that some kind of code?
