Taejong — Pan-Asia Special Tier X Cruiser.

A planned successor to the Atlanta- and Oakland-class light cruisers, designed to take advantage of the new longer-barreled 127 mm guns. Due to a large number of modern cruisers serving in the United States Navy, the new class would have been surplus to their naval needs with the end of World War II. Being advanced and well-equipped for nations looking to modernize their navies after 1945, such ships would have been prime candidates for foreign sales.

Pros

• High damage per minute with HE shells
• Modified Shells alternative fire mode available
• Low detectability

Cons

• Small HP pool
• Short main battery firing range
