Ship:Fiji

VII

5,500,000

Fiji — U.K. Tech Tree Tier VII Cruiser.

The British Navy required light cruisers, so the Town class was realigned. The lead cruiser of the project—HMS Fiji—entered service in 1940. During her first operation, the ship was hit by a torpedo from a German submarine and was subsequently sent for repairs. In 1941, she was transferred to Force H in Gibraltar and then to the Mediterranean Fleet. In May 1941, she helped defend Crete from the landing of German troops. On May 22, Fiji was hit by two German bombers and sank.

Pros

• High rate of fire
• Repair Party consumable available
• Smoke Generator consumable available

Cons
