About Cherbourg

Cherbourg is a Tier VIII France Cruiser (Tech tree ship) in World of Warships (WoWS). This page provides full Cherbourg stats including 3D armor model, main battery dispersion and AP penetration curves, available modules and upgrades, and recommended captain skills and builds for WoWS players.

After signing the Washington Naval Treaty, France had the right to build new battleships despite the restrictions on ships of this type. The design of new ships began; they could be classified as battlecruisers or "large" cruisers in terms of their characteristics. In 1930, a project for a new ship was developed. It had a displacement of 23,333 tons, a speed of 30 knots, and was armed with eight 305 mm guns in two quadruple-gun turrets on the bow.
