Almirante Cochrane
Tier VI · Cruiser · Pan-America
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 17) · Balanced cruiser
Balanced cruiser. It is weak against battleships (AP deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 19 min on paper · torpedoes supply 44% of it). Each Repair Kit restores 20% of max HP, up to 60% over a battle (standard 50%). Tanking damage and healing it back is this ship's biggest weapon. Top speed of 34.2 kn is high, but sluggish rudder make sudden dodges hard. Unique skill: 'Combat Instruction: Observed Fire' gives main battery reload +25%, main battery accuracy +25%, penetration +20% for 20 s after landing 40 main battery hits.

In 1937, the Chilean government planned to order the construction of a cruiser at British or Italian shipyards. At that time, the most modern Italian ships of a suitable type were cruisers belonging to the Duca degli Abruzzi class. If a ship had been ordered from Italy, the Chilean Navy would most likely have received a ship identical or comparable to cruisers of this class.
