San Martín

Ship Overview

All Ships

 San Martín — Pan‑American • Legendary Tier • Cruiser.

After World War II, Argentinian leaders planned on ordering the construction of new cruisers in the U.K. or the U.S. The main requirement was for their main guns to be dual-purpose. The most suitable ships for these parameters at that time were the Worcester-class cruisers, which designers would have been guided by if such ships had ever been ordered. San Martín could have been one such ship.


San Martín was released as the final reward of a chain bundle during the Victorious in Metal update.
