Des Moines's sister ship, now moored as a museum ship at her birthplace: Quincy, Massachusetts.
Except that Salem has less HP, no Orelikon nor float plane catapults, the rest major characteristics are identical to Des Moines.
She now uses the same Damage Control Party on destroyers.
It is highly likely that Salem will be a reward to players who qualify Rank1 7 or 8 times in Ranked Battle.
