Almirante Cervera

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Almirante Cervera — Spanish • Tech Tree • Tier III • Cruiser.

In 1922, with help from British company Armstrong, Spain started building new cruisers based on the E-class design. The Spanish version differed mainly in the layout of its propulsion systems. At the start of the Civil War, Republicans attempted but failed to take Almirante Cervera out of port, and she was ultimately taken by Franco's side. The cruiser took part in coastal blockades, supported troop advances, escorted convoys, and fought in the Battle of Cape Palos.
