Entry costs 75x more than anti-air
The cheapest anti-air is $20K. The cheapest anti-sea, AS 440, is $1.5M. Most bases meet their first warship with nothing at all — which is exactly what makes the 1.5 Warships update so brutal for mid-game players.
Database / Anti-Sea
Stops enemy warships. Entry cost is 75x higher than anti-air, which is why most bases are defenceless the first time a navy shows up.

Reading this table. “DPS per $1K” is how much damage you buy per 1,000 cash — higher is better value. Prices are colour-coded the way the game does it: green for cash, blue for Robux-only. The game does not display a radius for this category.
Analysis
The cheapest anti-air is $20K. The cheapest anti-sea, AS 440, is $1.5M. Most bases meet their first warship with nothing at all — which is exactly what makes the 1.5 Warships update so brutal for mid-game players.
AS 440 buys 35.3 DPS per $1M. Centurion buys 2.7. You pay thirteen times more per point of damage at the top of the ladder, and you get roughly 3.6x the health for it.
Unlike missiles and anti-air, the anti-sea shop displays only DPS and health. Whatever the engagement range is, the game does not tell you — so placement advice here is untested guesswork anywhere you read it.
330 DPS and 6,000 health for 320 Robux — more of both than the $100M Centurion. It is listed at 399 and drops to 320 with Roblox Premium.
