Light cruiser Yura

Light cruiser Yura is the "Fleet of Fog" reincarnation of the WWII Nagara-class light cruiser. Two of her sisters, Nagara and Natori have made their appearance in the series.

She is a rather powerful and quite versatile vessel, capable of single-handedly taking on whatever small groups of ships humanity still has. However, when compared to other "Fleet of Fog" ships and submarines, she is not all that powerful.

Yura - much like the name-ship of her class - is armed with six 123 mm Photon cannons on 3 active turrets, 12 underwater torpedo tubes, 3 high-angle lasers, a number of missile launcher modules, and with a close-combat system. In addition, the Wave-Force armor allows to simply ram through human vessels without suffering any noticeable damage.

She is also equipped with a moderately-powerful Wave-Force armor that will protect her from conventional weapons, but will likely fail when faced with Corrosive Warhead Torpedoes or even more powerful weapons from the "Fleet of Fog" arsenal. Furthermore, being a Nagara-class light cruiser, she is relatively slow and is unable to dive underwater. Her Union core is not powerful enough to sustain a Mental Model by itself.

Role

Yura and her sister Natori were accompanying fast battleship Hiei at Midway, where she intercepted I-401.
