Kuma — Japanese Tech Tree Tier III Cruiser.

A multipurpose light cruiser that could serve as a scout and a destroyer leader. Compared with the preceding class, Kuma had a greater displacement, reinforced weaponry and increased speed. She retained a weak AA defense that was typical of earlier-period Japanese cruisers.

Entered Service: 1920
Ships in a series: 5

Ship Traits
Fast: Above average maximum movement speed.	Compromising: High caliber AP shells overpen the armor, but may still arm, depending on shell velocity.
