Overview

The Orca Destroyer is the submarine hunter: the only surface ship with sonar, plus torpedoes and a heavy naval gun. Without one, enemy submarines are invisible and untouchable.

How to use

One Orca leading a fleet reveals submarines for everyone; two make the sea safe. Its gun is strong against ships and shoreline buildings, so it also anchors a bombardment group. Against aircraft it is helpless, so bring a Frigate.

Counters

Aircraft (naval strikers especially), massed missile boats, and battleships from range. It counters Submarines, Landing Craft and other surface ships.
