Cruiser - CharlestonPros:
- Like St. Louis, Charleston has the most health of any Tier II cruiser
- A large arsenal of fourteen 152mm main guns combined with eighteen 76mm secondary guns
- Turning circle of only 450 meters
Cons:
- Slow rudder shift
- Does not have AA guns, which makes it useless against aircrafts
