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
