*DPS tank - if you can remove enemy ships very fast, then you receive less DPS. In other words, you sacrifice some tanking capabilities to increase DPS, in hope that you will kill them first. I do not recommend fitting for DPS tank anything smaller than Battleships | *DPS tank - if you can remove enemy ships very fast, then you receive less DPS.
