Júpiter
Ship Overview
Júpiter — Spanish
Tech Tree Tier I Cruiser.
In the 1930s, Spain began building modern minelayers named after Roman gods. The Júpiter-class ships were also intended to serve as gunboats, requiring them to be equipped with strong artillery. While under construction, the lead ship of the Júpiter class was captured by rebel nationalists. After her commissioning, she joined the blockade of the Republican coast in the Bay of Biscay, intercepting transports and laying minefields—one of which later sank rebel battleship España.
