Seasonal Quotes

Fifth Anniversary Play	Congratulations! Fifth anniversary!	Ditto

Character

Appearance

• She has short, light-blue hair with double buns and yellow eyes, wears a sailor's hat with a star ribbon decoration. The star decoration is a reference to her earning one battle star for her World War II service.
• She appears to be carrying a SMG with several empty magazines. The empty magazines could be a reference to her firing more than six hundred 5 inch (127.0 mm) shells to keep the Japanese ships at bay, nearly running out of ammo before she was sank by Kongou.
• Her left sleeve bears a Navy Cross medal, in reference to her namesake Coxswain Samuel B. Roberts, who was awarded a posthumous Navy Cross for his actions at the Battle of Guadalcanal, where he voluntarily drove a Higgins boat directly in front of Japanese forces to draw their fire away from boats evacuating surrounded Marines from the beach.
• A small whale can be seen in the rigging of Samuel B. Roberts. The whale with her is a reference to when she encountered a problem on her first day of service. After spending time at Boston Navy Yard, her port propeller shaft struck a large whale 150 NMI (280 km; 170 mi) off the coast of Maine.
• The ends of the ribbon on her hat bear signal flags the spell the letters NTIK ( November, Tango, India, Kilo). This refers to her historical radio callsign during World War II.

Notes

• Equipping Samuel B. Roberts (both base and Kai) with an Improved Kanhon Type Turbine will let her become a Fast Ship.
  • Unlike the standard Speed System, she does not require a Boiler Equipment to become a Fast Ship.
• Samuel B. Roberts Kai is capable of using OASW without any SONAR or other ASW equipment.

Trivia

• The USS Samuel B. Roberts, colloquially nicknamed "Sammy B", is the 46th of the John C. Butler class of destroyer escorts, which were produced in great numbers late in the Second World War to provide fleet protection and screening for the US Navy's growing number of ships. The class was also known as the Westinghouse Geared Turbine-class, due to their powerplant. Originally intended with 293 ships built, 206 were cancelled due to the end of hostilities, and only 83 were completed.
• Samuel B. Roberts is most famous for her defiant last stand during the Battle of Samar as part of Task Force 77.4.3, aka "Taffy 3", where she engaged the much larger heavy cruisers of the Japanese Center Force. Among her exploits include performing a point-blank gun and torpedo attack that mauled the cruiser Choukai, and setting fire to the cruiser Chikuma. A barrage from the battleship Kongou would deal severe damage to Samuel B. Roberts, leading to her sinking with 90 of her men. For her actions in the battle, Samuel B. Roberts would earn a Presidential Unit Citation and a Battle Star, along with being known in naval lore as "The destroyer escort that fought like a battleship".
  • Her captain during the battle, Lieutenant Commander Robert W. Copeland, is famous for the announcement: "We're making a torpedo run. The outcome is doubtful, but we will do our duty", of which he announced to his men prior to making the famous fight against impossible odds.
  • Her action report described her crew's performance at the battle, stating: "The crew were informed over the loud speaker system at the beginning of the action, of the Commanding Officer's estimate of the situation, that is, a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival could not be expected, during which time we would do what damage we could. In the face of this knowledge the men zealously manned their stations wherever they might be, and fought and worked with such calmness, courage and efficiency that no higher honor could be conceived than to command such a group of men."
• She was assigned to the Atlantic on the beginning of the war. After hitting a whale and receiving some damage, she was refitted, repainted and assigned to the Pacific. You can see the whale doll on her bag.
• In 1946 the DD-823 a Destroyer of the Gearing-class was named in their honor, she served from 1946 to 1970.
• In 1984 the FFG-58, a Guided Missile Frigate of the Oliver Hazard Perry-class  was named in her honor, she served from 1986 to 2015.
