Players who helm her can choose between long-range 610 mm torpedoes and torpedoes with an average range that are faster, can deal greater damage, and have lower detectability.

Her torpedo bombers each carry two torpedoes, bombers—two HE bombs with high chances of causing fire, and her attack aircraft—powerful Tiny Tim rockets.
