Suzuya

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Suzuya — Japanese • Premium • Tier VII • Cruiser.

Suzuya was built as a light cruiser. Her armor and equipment were on par with heavy cruisers, despite her being of a smaller size and displacement. The number of 155 mm main caliber guns was increased to 15 to compensate for the lower mass of the shells in comparison with the 203 mm main caliber guns of the Washington Naval Treaty cruisers.

Suzuya was first released as the final reward of the Limit Breaker campaign, which took place from April 12th to May 17th, 2021. The ship is now available in the store for 750 000 Global XP.
