Stealthy cruiser, suited to AA escort, fire pressure, DD hunting. Top speed is 31.7 kn (0.8 kn below average), but 12.8 s acceleration and 9.2°/s turning make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. Firing 14 127mm guns every 6 s, it reaches 53,060 HE DPM and sets frequent fires. Detectability of 7.44 km is 0.68 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first. High HE fire potential (3.5 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). A survival equipment build adds damage reduction +4 pp, fire/flood resistance +14 pp, torpedo damage reduction +16 pp to shore up survivability.
