Erie — American Tier I cruiser.
Based on the restrictions of the London Naval Treaty, American designers conceptualized a gunboat to solve a wide range of tasks—from providing fire support to the Marine Corps during landing operations to protecting convoys from raider and submarine attacks. During the Spanish Civil War, USS Erie evacuated U.S. citizens from the belligerent country before joining the forces at the Panama Canal, where she served until the end of her career. At the outbreak of World War II, USS Erie defended the Caribbean from German submarines.

Player Opinion
Pros:
- Brilliant Armour for a Tier I starting ship.
- 9.6km Gun range.
- 20.8kts speed makes you currently the fastest Tier I ship.
- Guns are quite accurate with a small dispersion arc.
Cons:
- Seems to lose its forward gun often.
- Can get ahead of its support ships and get caught alone.
- The concealment is almost useless as you only have guns to rely on.
Research
Like the other Tier I ships, Erie only has the gun fire control systems module available to research. This module increases her range by 10%, bringing her firing range to 9.6km.
