Albemarle — British Tech Tree Tier VII Cruiser.

A project for a well-protected heavy cruiser drafted shortly after the outbreak of World War II. One of the fundamental differences in comparison to ships of previous generations was the placement of the main battery guns in three-gun turrets.


Year of Design: 1940

Ship Traits
Sequential: Torpedoes can be launched one by one.	Hidden: Good concealment means the ship can get closer to enemies before being detected.	Pyromania: Above average chance for HE shells to cause a fire.
