Stealth torpedo destroyer, suited to torpedo ambush, DD hunting. Top speed is 34.5 kn (2.2 kn below average), but 7.2 s acceleration and 2.8 s rudder shift make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. A full torpedo spread can deal up to 51,920 (all launchers combined). Torpedo DPM is 73% higher than average. Key skills: Engine Accelerator I ×3 (top speed +8%, 25 s); Smoke Generator I ×3 (9 s deploy, 24 s linger); Radar II ×2 (8.1 km, 10 s). A firepower equipment build improves reload 3.6→3.42 s, dispersion 111→101 m.
