Numancia

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Numancia — Spanish • Premium • Tier VII • Cruiser.

One of the variants of the "Washington" cruiser project, proposed to the Spanish Navy by the Vickers-Armstrong company, was based on the Emerald-class hull but equipped with seven 8-inch (203mm) guns in one (bow) triple- and two twin-gun turrets. To ensure space saving for the propulsion unit, a linear arrangement of the boiler and engine rooms were adopted. The ship was supposed to be faster than her original and have a catapult; however. preference was given to the project variant that became the basis for the Baleares class of ships.

Numancia was released as a reward in the Spirit of Discovery random bundles, which took place from March 2nd to March 30th, 2026.
