The Cruisers
Here are the Cruisers of the U.S. Navy
The cruiser is a type of multipurpose warship. Their configuration diversity makes them the most versatile warships on the high seas. On one hand, cruisers are equipped with reliable armour and powerful armament; on the other, this type of ship is manoeuvrable enough to dodge battleship fire and torpedo attacks. Their rate of fire strikes fear into heart of any destroyer. Their AA guns are a pain in the neck for aircraft carriers. Besides, many cruisers are equipped with secondary armament and torpedoes, which makes them an even more menacing enemy in a close battle.
Starting from Tier VI, American cruisers are not equipped with torpedoes, but their artillery and AA guns allow them to effectively fend off enemy aircraft. Japanese cruisers share much in common with destroyers: they are more vulnerable to aerial attacks in particular, but their artillery and torpedoes grow more powerful tier by tier.
