Gryf — European Tier I cruiser.

In the early 1930s, the Polish Navy succumbed to the trend of building large minelayers capable of operating independently. The ship was supposed to have weapons that would not be inferior to those of a destroyer and to serve as a training ship in peacetime. Their new minelayer was laid down in 1934, launched two years later, and entered service in 1938. In the event of hostilities, Gryf was tasked with setting up a mining bank to protect the only Polish seaport of Gdynia from amphibious assault. On September 1, 1939, the first day of World War II, the ship was damaged by an air attack. Two days later, she came under artillery fire from German destroyers and suffered another air attack. She received several hits from aerial bombs and sank.

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".

Pros:

Shortest reload time of all Tier I ships
Second-highest firing range of all Tier I ships
Most guns of all Tier I ships (together with Black Swan)
Second highest hit point pool at Tier I

Cons:

Lowest shell damage of all Tier I ships
Highest turning circle radius of all Tier I ships (together with Hermelin)
High rudder shift time
AA rating matching Tier IV ships, but the only aircraft it may ever see is Katori's Catapult Fighter .
