Murmansk — Soviet special premium Tier V cruiser.

USS Milwaukee (CL-5), the second of ten Omaha-class cruisers, was laid down in 1918. She served in the U.S. Pacific Fleet and patrolled the Caribbean Sea. After the U.S. entered World War II, the ship was made flagship of the 2nd Cruiser Division in the Atlantic Ocean. On April 20, 1944, the cruiser was transferred to the Soviet Navy and renamed Murmansk. Until the end of the war, Murmansk covered Allied convoys. In 1949, she was returned to the U.S.

Player Opinion

Performance

One of the most potent cruisers at tier 5, the Murmansk is a formidable opponent in anyone's hands. Featuring a deadly gun range of 14.8km by default with it's main guns, the Murmansk also has the ability to carry a recon plane. Deploying this aircraft can increase your gun range by a further 20%, enabling you to out-range the majority of the ships at her tier. With torpedoes that have a range of 8km, it isn't bad when it comes to close range engagements. It is recommended though that you use and abuse the range abilities of this premium cruiser to maximize your survival. By broadsiding at range you can bring 5 turrets to bear on the enemy, 2 which contain double guns meaning that every 7 seconds you can hit an enemy ship with 7 shells for a total of around 60 shells a minute. With the way fires currently stand with HE shells, sitting at range and spamming HE is a perfectly viable option for this ship.

The Murmansk is an Omaha class ship. In comparison with the Omaha on the U.S. tech tree, the Murmansk is basically an Omaha that has been elited. It is nearly identical to an Omaha with the C hull, the gun upgrade, and the fire control upgrade. The main difference lies with the torpedoes. Instead of firing Mark 11's, it uses Soviet 53-39's, which have a range of 8 km, travel at 55 knots, and inflict 14,400 damage. The reload time is higher and the torpedo firing arc is smaller, but all-in-all it's a solid upgrade. Other differences include: 2 fewer 76.2 mm AA guns, 4 additional 20 mm Oerlikon AA guns (for a net gain of 16 dps), and an even faster rudder shift time. This makes the Murmansk better than a fully elited Omaha. Premium ships are generally inferior to any elited ship, so the Murmansk is a stand-out. The only downside would be for players who prefer the Omaha's B hull, which has two more guns and two more triple-tube torpedo launchers, but has shorter range and loses most of the AA.

Pros:

Longest fire range for a cruiser at its tier
Carries a recon plane to increase its range
One of the best AA cruisers at tier 5
Earns premium credits and exp
Can train a USSR Navy crew member without retraining

Cons:

Weak armor makes it susceptible to citadels and shots from enemy ships
Limited torpedo firing arc
Large detection range

Research

None required due to premium status. However, equipping a commander with the tier 4 Advanced Firing Training skill can further increase the firing range by 20% making this ship incredibly good at ranged engagements and combines with the tier 3 Superintendent skill can mean you can plane up and hit at range more times.

Seeing as it also earns premium credits, being able to afford the cost of the premium aircraft can significantly increase your in-game performance as you are waiting less time to hit at the further distance as it will reload quicker.

+USS Milwaukee (CL-5) was an Omaha-class light cruiser built for the United States Navy during the 1920s. The ship spent most of her early career assigned to the Asiatic and Battle Fleets. In 1941 she was assigned to the Neutrality Patrol until she was refitted in New York in late 1941. She escorted a troop convoy to the Pacific in early 1942 before returning to the South Atlantic where she patrolled for German commerce raiders and blockade runners. In November, she intercepted one of the latter ships, but it scuttled itself before it could be captured. In 1944 she was temporarily transferred to the Soviet Navy and commissioned as Murmansk. The ship was returned by the Soviets in 1949 and sold for scrap in December.
