Also called: Эндрю Браун Каннингем · 앤드루 커닝엄 · アンドルー・カニンガム

U.K. Battleship Commander
U.K.BattleshipHistoricalMain Battery
Overview

Tightens the shell grouping of battleship main batteries, so salvos land closer together. Works on any battleship, with Thunderer, Vanguard and Hawke as good fits. Pair him with Flammable Cannonier, Gyrating Drillbits and Marksmanship to build on that tighter spread.

Commander Bio

Admiral Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham (1883–1963) was a senior British Royal Navy officer and First Sea Lord (1943–1946). Known for his aggressive tactics in the Mediterranean during World War II, he orchestrated major naval operations including the decisive Battle of Cape Matapan, where British forces defeated the Italian fleet. Cunningham's bold leadership and strategic acumen made him one of the most celebrated naval commanders of the 20th century.
