I stand corrected: I forgot that I had the New Orleans, so that's four Tier VIII.
My favorite ships are often not my highest: I think the one I enjoy the most is ARP Kongo ever since they got the voice right. I also like my New Mexico, Gneisnau, that little tier III German DD with the forward firing torpedoes, Tier V German CL (can't recall the name) with the 360 degree rotation on her rear turrets, my Kagero, Nagato, Graf Spee and the ARP Tier VII Cruisers.
