Ship:Huanghe

VI

4,500 doubloons

Huanghe — Pan-Asia Premium Tier VI Cruiser.

After Chinese cruiser Chungking was sunk by Kuomintang aircraft, the People's Republic of China's government attempted to restore her. The hull was raised and towed to Dalian, where it was inspected by a Soviet commission. The most balanced of the proposed upgrade projects suggested replacing available weapons with Soviet ones while maintaining the total number and caliber of artillery. At the same time, it was proposed to substitute the old gun mounts with modern ones that could significantly increase the cruiser's combat capabilities. In 1959, the ship's name was changed to Huanghe, but the recall of all Soviet specialists from China prevented the cruiser from being upgraded, and she was scrapped a few years later.
