Danae — British Tech Tree Tier III Cruiser.

Developed from the preceding Caledon-class cruiser ships. In contrast with her predecessors, she was bigger in size and had more powerful torpedoes. Danae also featured reinforced artillery.

Entered Service: 1918
Ships in a series: 8

Ship Traits
Sequential: Torpedoes can be launched one by one.	Flair for Piercing: Equipped with AP shells only.	Compromising: High caliber AP shells overpen the armor, but may still arm, depending on shell velocity.
