Austin — U.S.A. Special Tier X Cruiser.

CL-154-class cruisers were designed in the U.S. as a further development of the Atlanta-class cruisers. They featured larger hull dimensions and replaced main battery guns with the new 127 mm/54-caliber guns. The new guns had a higher rate of fire and longer range while also firing a heavier projectile. The plan was to build six cruisers—the ships were even assigned hull numbers. However, the construction was ultimately canceled due to cuts in the naval budget.

Pros

HE and SAP shells available
Enhanced Main Battery Reload Booster consumable

Cons

Weak Armor
Does not have access to the Surveillance Radar consumable
