Black Huanghe

Black Huanghe — Pan-Asian Limited Tier VI cruiser.

A British light cruiser (HMS Aurora) intended to carry out close reconnaissance and counter-destroyer missions. In 1948, the ship was transferred to the Republic of China (Taiwan) but defected to the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) a year later, becoming its most powerful combat unit. In the early 1950s, a plan was drawn up for the refurbishment of the cruiser by replacing her weapons and equipment with Soviet-made models.
