Here's our First Look at Tier X Premium American light cruiser USS Austin. Austin is slated to replace USS Somers in the Armory, presumably for steel (though that has not yet been confirmed). Will she be worth it? She seems to fill a similar role to Tier X Premium British cruiser HMS Plymouth, but Austin has a different set of tricks up her sleeve than Plymouth. Let's dive in and learn more.
