Gunboat destroyer, suited to long-range fire support, cap contesting. Its AP broadside of 1,220 is 11% above average, so every salvo hits hard. Main battery range is 7.0 km, and dispersion at 6 km is about 94 m, 13% tighter than average. Key skills: Fuel Smoke I ×2 (9 s deploy, 3 s linger). Fuel smoke hides it even at full speed for hit-and-run play, but it clears quickly.
