The primary battery has a 22 rounds-per-minute reload when on ace crew, and although the guns begin to struggle against more heavily armoured light cruisers and heavy cruisers, the blistering rate of fire makes up for it. With a main battery of 4 double-mount 5-inch/38 guns, captains can expect to be able to deal with most destroyers and some light cruisers with relative ease. USS Porter was introduced in Update 1.95 "Northern Wind".
Sources vary on the source of the torpedo, and it was either sunk by the Japanese submarine I-21 or a ditching Grumman TBF Avenger's torpedo, although this seems unlikely due to the state of American torpedoes at this point in the war. After the crew had abandoned ship, Porter was scuttled by fire from the USS Shaw. She would only see combat in one major battle, receiving critical damage from a torpedo strike in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. She would get underway from Pearl Harbour on the 5th of December 1941, missing the attack by two days. Laid down in 1933, she would enter service in 1936. The Porter-class, USS Porter (DD-356), 1941 is the lead ship of her class of 8 destroyers, and the only one to be lost in combat.
