Ship:Anchorage

VIII

17,500 doubloons

Anchorage — U.S.A. Premium Tier VIII Cruiser.

Historically, U.S. Navy heavy cruisers were not armed with torpedo tubes—this put them in a vulnerable position, particularly when compared to Japanese cruisers equipped with 610 mm torpedoes. Had the CA-B heavy cruisers evolved to be equipped with torpedo armament, such a ship could have been armed with two 533 mm quadruple-tube torpedo launchers—one on each side.

Pros

• Improved AP penetration angles
• Has torpedo armament
• Smoke Generator consumable available

Cons

• Long main battery reload
• Does not have access to the Surveillance Radar consumable
