Duguay-Trouin — French Tier IV cruiser.
The world's first large warship designed and built after World War I. The ship had virtually no armor protection but carried very powerful torpedo armament. An innovation that was implemented on this type of ship was the arrangement of her main guns in twin-gun superfiring turrets.

Player Opinion
Performance
One of the fastest cruisers at Tier IV, Duguay-Trouin boasts powerful short-ranged torpedoes, fast shells, and a great main battery firing range. She is roughly analogous to Tier V Russian cruiser Kirov: a poorly armored, speedy cruiser with good shells and shell velocity, large detectability radius, and very long main battery range.
Overall, Trouin’s profile is rather large and her main battery reload is on the slow side for 155mm guns, though the guns are comfortable to fire. Her rudder shift is worst-in-tier and her concealment is quite poor, which makes her an easy and obvious target for enemy ships. Additionally, her armor is virtually non-existent (like all other Tier IV cruisers). She has plenty of speed and a generous torpedo armament, though the range on them means that they are best suited for ambushes from behind islands or against distracted battleships.
Her rudder, along with the other French cruisers, tends to feel prone to incapacitations; captains may wish to equip Engine Room Protection and/or invest points into Level 2 commander skill Last Stand to help compensate.Pros:
- AB-XY turret layout is excellent for its tier.
- Decent main battery shells.
- Fast shell velocity.
- Decent turret traverse.
- Many torpedoes and good torpedoes for the tier and ship type.
- Fast ship speed.
- Can equip Hydroacoustic Search .
Cons:
- Poorly armored (like most other Tier IV cruisers).
- Slow main battery reload for 155mm guns.
- Poor anti-aircraft capabilities (like most other Tier IV cruisers).
- Slow rudder shift.
- Poor concealment.

Signals
As a Tier IV cruiser with a good fire chance, Victor Lima () and India X-Ray () are the recommended for extra fire damage. Victor Lima also increases chances of you getting flooding. November Foxtrot () can assist in reducing cooldowns for the consumables slightly, but may be life-saving (such as having Hydroacoustic Search ready and activated in time to evade enemy torpedo salvo). Sierra Mike can also be handy for getting around to places, as this increases Duguay-Trouin's speed to a good 34.7 kts.
