ASW Fletcher Class Destroyer

The ASW Fletcher is a special American Destroyer that appears in Call of Duty: The War in the Pacific.

Performance
The ASW Fletcher is a very agile ship, being even quicker and more maneuverable than the regular Fletcher Class Destroyer, this makes it even better at fullfiling its specialized role. Against other ships it is fairly weak, having fewer anti ship weapons than the base Fletcher, and also has fewer AA capabilities than the base Fletcher, making it very vulnerable to air attack. The ASW Fletcher, however, is by far the biggest threat to submarines. The first advantage in hunting submarines the ASW has over the base Fletcher is the upgrade to hull armor that the ASW has, the ASW is capable of taking an extra two torpedoes over the base Fletcher. Another way the ASW is by far the most powerful sub hunter is its incredible anti submarine weaponry. The ASW is equipped with the same amount of depth charge racks as the base Fletcher, which alone is still a powerful anti submarine weapon, but it is also equipped with the deadly Hedgehog launcher. The Hedgehog is a deadly depth charge launching cannon, it fires depth charges all around the ship, and unlike normal depth charges they will only explode upon contact with a submarines hull, meaning that any explosion is a gaurenteed hit. The Hedgehog also has a very quick reload time, making it simple for an ASW to saturate the water with depth charges, until the area is clear of all subs. Because of all this, the ASW Fletcher is a powerful asset to any fleet, and is the perfect ship to escort a Battleship or Aircraft Carrier.
