Cleveland Class Cruiser

The Cleveland Class is a type of American Light Cruiser that appears in Call of Duty: The War in the Pacific.

Performance
The Cleveland is a fairly quick and maneuverable ship, outmaneuvering other Cruisers, giving it a slight edge in combat, in fact is has about the same speed as a Destroyer. The Cleveland has good armament for engaging Destroyers, but it is a risk sending one to fight a Japanese Cruiser, as its guns are slightly inferior against other Cruisers. The Cleveland does fit one role perfectly however, it is one of the best escort ships in game, and whenever one of these is available it should be sent to escort an important friendly ship. The ship owes this abilty to its massive amount of Anti Aircraft power, with the combined power of all its duel purpose guns it can fill the skies with flak in an instant, denying access to a friendly ship to enemy bombers. The ship has no defence against submarines however.
