Ship:Dunedin

IV

700,000

Dunedin — Commonwealth Tech Tree Tier IV Cruiser.

One of the Danae-class cruisers, representing an advancement in the later C-class series of ships, she stood out from her predecessors due to her enlarged size as well as stronger artillery and torpedo armament. Dunedin, the fifth ship in the series, served within the Royal Navy's New Zealand Division from 1924 through 1937. In the course of World War II, she actively operated in the Atlantic, capturing several enemy transports. In November 1941, Dunedin was sunk by a German submarine while on active duty.

Pros

• Agile and reasonably maneuverable, making it easier to dodge shells.
• Has Torpedo armament
• Has Hydroacoustic Search

Cons

• No Crawling Smoke Generator consumables available.
• No Submarine Surveillance consumable available.
