Foca — Italy Tech Tree Tier VI Submarine.

A medium-sized, ocean-going submarine equipped for minelaying operations. The Foca-class submarines had an unusual design feature: a 100 mm gun mounted at the rear of the conning tower that could rotate together with part of the structure. All three submarines of the class served in the Mediterranean during World War II. The lead submarine was lost under unknown circumstances early in the war, in October 1940.

This ship gets access to a set of combat instructions that enhances torpedo reload and ship speed.

Pros

• Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable available
• Low torpedo detectability
• Long ping effect duration on a sector
• Main Battery Reload Booster consumable available

Cons

• Low torpedo speed
• Low dive capacity
