Perth — Commonwealth Premium Tier V Cruiser.

This warship was built in the UK, based on a reworked design of Leander-class cruiser with a modified arrangement of the propulsion unit. She was similar to her prototype in terms of armament, but had a different armor layout. In 1939, the ship was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy.

Perth was temporarily purchasable in the store through a special currency related to the A Light in the Dark 2022 Halloween event, which took place from October 17th to November 7th of that same year.

Entered Service: 1936

Ship Traits			Premium Trait
