Tier 9 U.S.A. Cruiser
Buffalo
This heavy cruiser design appeared soon after the development of cruiser Baltimore was completed and was her direct successor (Project CA-B). The increased water displacement allowed engineers to significantly reinforce the ship's armor protection and armament. The number of main guns was augmented to a total of 12 overall.
