SURREY — Tier VIII British Heavy Cruiser
The epitome of design for Royal Navy cruisers of the 1920s. Like her predecessors, Surrey’s main battery consisted of eight 203 mm guns placed in turrets mounted in a superfiring position. The advantage that this project boasted was her armour protection, which perfectly matched the power of the cruiser's main battery guns.

Main Characteristics of Surrey
Surrey was intended to become the pinnacle of development of the British County-class heavy cruisers, but her construction was cancelled in January 1930. It was planned for the ship to be protected with armour that would equal the strength of her armament. In World of Warships, she is notable for her good concealment and solid armour belt.
- Eight 203 mm guns placed in four turrets with strong HE shell fire chance and damage. Firing range extendable via Spotting Aircraft.
- Two quadruple-torpedo tubes with an 8 km range.
- Repair Party consumable to restore citadel damage.
- Choice between Defensive AA Fire and Hydroacoustic Search.
- Decent concealment for a Tier VII heavy cruiser.
- Comes with a 3-skill-point Commander and Port slot (Bundle only).
