Méndez Núñez

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Méndez Núñez — Spanish • Premium • Tier II • Cruiser.

Blas de Lezo and Méndez Núñez were laid down in 1917. As the deceased Admiral Méndez Núñez's namesake ship couldn't be completed in time for the 100th anniversary of his birth, the ships' names were swapped. During the Civil War, Méndez Núñez's crew sided with the Republicans. The cruiser was damaged in a 1938 rebel air raid.
