Ship:Monmouth

26,000 doubloons

Monmouth — U.K. Special Tier X Cruiser.

A hypothetical design embodying the idea of a heavy cruiser with 234 mm main battery guns within a post-war reality. The project of such a ship with a displacement of over 20,000 tons and unusual artillery layout in quadruple-gun turrets was considered in the Admiralty in 1938 but did not receive further development.

Pros

• Long firing range
• AP shells with reduced chances of ricocheting
• Access to the Specialized Repair Teams consumable

Cons

• Only AP shells available
• Low ship speed
