Alvaro de Bazan Commemorative Flag.

Álvaro de Bazán is an outstanding Spanish naval commander who knew no defeat. He was granted the title of Marquis of Santa Cruz in 1569. The shield depicted on the coat of arms under the heraldic crown of the marquis is placed against the background of the cross of the knightly order of Santiago, of which de Bazán was a member.

Key Features

The main feature of the Álvaro de Bazán is the eight 135mm main calibre guns with HE and high-powered AP shells, as well as the ability to use the Alternative firing mode "Burst fire" previously available only to some superships.
Thanks to her fast 40 knot speed, she can rapidly attack enemy ships and deal heavy damage in a very short amount of time.
Torpedo armament is represented by two four-tubed torpedo launchers. The torpedoes have good range, but not the highest speed and damage.
Consumables are represented by the classic destroyer set of Engine Boost and Smoke Generator.
