Galicia
Ship Overview
Galicia — Spanish
Tech Tree Tier IV Cruiser.
With the Republic's establishment, cruiser Príncipe Alfonso was remaed Libertad. At the outbreak of the Civil War, she stayed with the Republicans, despite being commanded by Franco's cousin. At Cape Tenes, Libertad scored several hits on Nationalist heavy cruiser Baleares, and she went on to fight enemy cruisers at Cape Palos. The ship was later damaged during several Italian air raids. When Libertad fell into the hands of the Francoist government, she received the name Galicia.
