Dalian Flag

Originally founded in 1898 under the name of "Dalniy," Dalian is a city located on the shore of the Yellow Sea. Today, Dalian is one of the largest ports in China and the world in general. It's also a centre of military and civil shipbuilding. The symbol of the city is the China Rose.

Key Features:
The ship is armed with ten 130mm guns in five turrets with flat shell ballistics and four triple torpedo tubes with standard torpedoes, unlike researchable Pan-Asian cruisers. Dalian is equipped with a Smoke Generator with short reload time, Repair party and Hydroacoustic Search, and also has a decent concealment. However, the ship has weak armor and a high-placed citadel.
