? | ||||
HMAS ''Perth'' was designed and constructed as a modified ''[[Leander]]'' class light cruiser. The original design was intended to fulfill the desire for a cruiser armed with 152mm to serve with fleets. ''Perth'' was fitted with the same armament used on the ''Leander'' class. The primary difference between ''Perth'' and her older sister ships was the adoption of segmented machinery spaces. This allowed for the ship to continue operating should one engine room become inoperable. The main belt armor was subsequently lengthened to protect her larger machinery spaces and the beam of the ship was increased slightly to improve her stability. Two funnels were installed instead of a single funnel due to the split machinery spaces. This limited the space available on deck and prevented a seaplane catapult from being mounted when the ship was first being fitted out. She later received a shortened catapult for use with the Supermarine Seagull. | HMAS ''Perth'' was designed and constructed as a modified ''[[Leander]]'' class light cruiser.

Perth — Commonwealth premium Tier VI cruiser.
This warship was built in the United Kingdom, based on a reworked design of Leander-class cruisers with a modified arrangement of the propulsion unit. She was similar to her prototype in terms of armament, but had a different armor layout. In 1939, the ship was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy.

Commander Skills
Perth has more commander skill options available to her, simply by virtue of the fact she has high explosive shells available to her main battery. Skills such as Expert Loader or Demolition Expert are not wasted on her as they would be on her cousin in the Royal Navy cruiser branch, Leander. In point of fact, Demolition Expert might be the best Tier 4 skill available to Perth commanders.

Camouflage
As a premium ship, Perth comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
