Chung Mu — Pan-Asia Tech Tree Tier IX Destroyer.

Fletcher-class ship USS Erben was built at the shipyard of Bath Iron Works. She participated in the war in the Pacific, covering the landing of American troops on Tarawa, the Marshall Islands, New Guinea, and the Mariana Islands, as well as guarding aircraft carriers in the battle in the Philippine Sea. In 1945, she participated in the landing on Okinawa. During the war, the ship earned six battle stars. Between 1946 and 1951, she was placed in reserve but rejoined the fleet during the Korean War. In the 1950s, she served in the U.S. 7th Fleet. In May 1963, the ship was sold to the Republic of Korea and joined its fleet as Chung Mu.

Pros

• High rate of fire.
• Enhanced smoke generator consumables.(reduced reload times).
• Surveillance radar consumables are available for mounting instead of smoke.
• Torpedo reload booster available.

Cons

• Shooting accurately over long ranges is challenging. (Long shell flight time makes it difficult to take an optimal target lead.)
• Can hit only cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers.
