Iwaki Alpha — Japanese special premium Tier IV cruiser.
An advanced design of the Tenryu-class cruiser. The ship's displacement exceeded that of her predecessor, which allowed for a reinforced artillery armament and more powerful propulsion. At the project design stage, the cruiser was faster than all existing cruisers and many destroyers.
Iwaki Alpha was given as a gift to any Alpha tester or Beta Weekend player at the beginning of the Closed Beta Test who played at least 100 matches during Alpha.

Consumables
Iwaki Alpha has access to Smoke Generator and greatly benefits from the use of premium consumables.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Iwaki Alpha comes included with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
Iwaki Alpha is reasonably fast, so Sierra Mike may be useful to the player. Victor Lima and India X-Ray may be used to increase the fire chance of main battery HE ammunition by 1%. Juliet Whiskey Unaone will increase torpedo efficiency by increasing the chance to cause flooding.Gallery
