Narai: Tier VIII Pan-Asian Premium Light Cruiser
A Tiger-class light cruiser, Narai could have been laid down in Great Britain and, after a prolonged construction period, sold to Thailand, which had previously acquired other British warships.

More Details
The ship is named after one of Thailand's most renowned rulers—Narai the Great, king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 17th century.
In battle, Narai differs from Tiger '59 by trading the improved AP shells of British light cruisers for HE shells, giving her more versatile offensive capabilities despite her low gun count. She retains, though, the improved shell dispersion and the Specialized Repair Teams consumable found on Tiger '59: despite having one charge fewer, it will still be of much aid due to her small HP pool and poor armor. And that's where the similarities end.
Her Smoke Generator is the same one found on Pan-Asian destroyers, with only 2 base charges — so timing your smokes carefully is key to maximizing their impact. To boost survivability, Narai carries an improved Hydroacoustic Search and 4 charges of the Emergency Speed Boost consumable, to aid her in skirmishing and kiting larger ships and torpedoes. Unlike Tiger '59, which emphasizes team support and utility, Narai is focused more on delivering firepower, making her a more aggressive and independent presence on the battlefield.
With Narai, you can pepper the enemy with decent damaging HE shells while staying within the relative safety of your smokes and guarded by Hydroacoustic Search from destroyer torpedoes. At the same time, if the smokes are depleted or you feel particularly at risk, you can boost yourself out of danger and then get back in shape thanks to improved Repair Teams.
