New Techline Additions
European Tier V destroyer Muavenet
In 1938, Turkey ordered four ships of the latest I class from Great Britain. Two of them however, including Muavenet, were instead purchased by Great Britain when World War II broke out. Muavenet, which became HMS Inconstant, began her service in the Home Fleet and was then transferred to the Eastern Fleet, where she participated in amphibious operations around Madagascar. In the summer of 1942, the ship escorted convoys to Malta. Later, she fought in the Atlantic, where she escorted northbound convoys and provided cover for the Normandy landings. Finally, in 1946, the ship was returned to Turkey, where she again acquired the name Muavenet in honor of destroyer Muâvenet-i Millîye, which had sunk British battleship Goliath during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I.
European Tier VI destroyer Stord
With the outbreak of World War II, Great Britain started the mass construction of destroyers in batches of eight. As a rule, all of them had four single-gun mounts with 102–120 mm guns and one or two quadruple-tube torpedo launchers. Two of them were transferred to the Norwegian Navy and received the names "Stord" and "Svenner." Stord entered service in September 1943. In 1943 and 1944, she participated in operations in the North Atlantic and escorted polar convoys. During the Battle of the North Cape, Stord was involved in sinking German battleship Scharnhorst. In 1944, the destroyer participated in covering the landings in Normandy, and then returned to escorting convoys heading for the U.S.S.R. After the war, Stord became the flagship of the Norwegian Navy.
European Tier VII destroyer Grom
Grom and Błyskawica entered service in 1937, becoming the strongest European destroyers of their time after the latest French ones. With the outbreak of World War II, the destroyers broke through the Baltic to Britain to help escort wartime supply convoys to Poland. However, the convoys were never organized due to the rapid fall of Poland, and Grom came under the command of the British Navy. As part of it, she took part in the Norwegian campaign. On May 4, 1940, one of Grom's torpedo tubes was hit by a bomb, which caused the torpedoes to detonate. It took less than 3 minutes for the ship to sink.
European Tier VIII destroyer Split
In the 1930s, by order of the Yugoslav Navy, French specialists designed a large destroyer based on Le Fantasque. The boiler-and-turbine plant and gun fire-control system were purchased in the U.K. and France, respectively. Split, a ship named after the city where she was built, was laid down in 1939 and was to be armed with five Czechoslovak-produced 140 mm guns. In 1941, the city of Split was captured by the Italians, who decided to complete the construction of the ship. In 1943, the destroyer was renamed Spalato and launched. After the capitulation of Italy, the ship was grounded in the port. In 1948, Yugoslavia resumed work on the ship, but receiving weapons from Czechoslovakia was no longer possible, and Split was eventually completed with British-American weapons instead. The ship entered service in 1959, immediately becoming the navy's flagship.
European Tier IX destroyer Lambros Katsonis
In the late 1920s, there was a dispute among the leaders of the Greek Navy about whether to invest in building more conventional ships or build fewer but stronger ones. In 1929, as Turkey purchased four destroyers from Italy, the first approach prevailed, and Greece ultimately ordered four destroyers to be built with simplified technology, also in Italy. An alternative solution could have been another approach that envisaged ordering a pair of large ships with 140 mm guns. The most suitable was one of the pre-designs of a fleet cruiser that the British Admiralty was considering at that time. Namely, the E-class cruiser armed with six 140 mm guns. Lambros Katsonis was named after the leader of the national liberation struggle of the Greek people.
European Tier X destroyer Gdańsk
Based on the notion of Polish ships achieving superiority over their enemy counterparts through quality rather than quantity, Poland designed the "Crusader" ship class—large destroyers that would be capable of taking on even light cruisers. In the late 1930s, several projects for such ships were being considered in Gdynia. The Mogador-class destroyers were suitable for the purpose as they were comparable to light cruisers in certain parameters and outmatched them in others (for example, in speed). Had ships of this class been built in France, the destroyers that survived the war would have been re-equipped in the 1950s and 1960s with Soviet air defense systems, radars, and torpedoes.
New Premium Ships
Pan-Asian Tier VII Premium cruiser Eastern Dragon
Eastern Dragon stands out for her unique blend of tradition and cutting-edge technology. Based on the Japanese Myōkō class, her striking silhouette and sleek design house a powerful array of weaponry, strategically placed for maximum impact. Thanks to an advanced propulsion system, she moves with swift agility, and her sleek armor offers a perfect balance of protection and nimbleness.
Pan-Asian Tier VII Premium cruiser Southern Dragon
Southern Dragon stands as a symbol of power and might, and she pays homage to the spirited Southern seas while embracing the heritage of the Japanese Myōkō class. Her distinctive design, influenced by the vibrant essence of the South, encases a formidable arsenal strategically positioned for maximum impact. Powered by cutting-edge systems, she navigates with a unique fusion of robust resilience and nimble finesse, embodying the strength and innovation of the southern waters.
French Tier VI Premium cruiser Dupleix
Suffren-class heavy cruiser. An order was given to reinforce the armor to protect her from 155 mm shells at distances of up to 18,000 m. After joining the ranks, Dupleix was assigned to the 1st Light Division of the 1st Squadron in Toulon, and she was later transferred to the 1st Cruiser Division. With the outbreak of hostilities, the cruiser participated in patrol and escort missions, as well as in raids on Genoa. After the capitulation of France, Dupleix made almost no trips out to sea.
British Tier VII Premium battleship Renown ‘44
HMS Renown was laid down in 1915 and entered service in September 1916. The ship didn't manage to participate in World War I. She received upgrades in the interwar period, and during World War II, Renown participated in the hunt for the German raiders Graf Spee and Bismarck, as well as the Norwegian campaign. She also escorted Maltese convoys as part of Force H and exercised diplomatic service. In 1944, she was transferred to the Eastern Fleet and took part in the final stage of World War II.
British Tier VIII Premium cruiser Hampshire
The Japanese constructing cruisers with ten 8-inch guns made the British Admiralty think about improving the combat characteristics of future ships. In May 1927, an order was given to develop cruisers with five main battery turrets and one additional turret. Following long discussions, it was decided to discard the idea of the additional turret in favor of more armor. This would later spur the emergence of the Surrey-class cruisers.
American Tier IX Premium battleship Illinois
In the 1940s, several projects to modernize and reconstruct battleships were developed—from hybrid aircraft carriers to training artillery battleships. One project involved the conversion of the last two Iowa-class battleships into escort ships for aircraft carriers. According to the project, turrets with rapid-firing 203 mm guns were to be mounted on the main battery barbettes; however, this plan never materialized.
Pan-Asian Tier IX Premium cruiser Mengchong
Mengchong was a Chinese warship that sailed in the second and third centuries AD. She had solid, leather-covered sides that allowed archers to fire from behind cover and protected the rowers. Mengchong was used as a cover ship.
Pan-Asian Tier IX Premium battleship Louchuan
Louchuan was a Chinese naval ship primarily used as a floating fortress during the Han dynasty. Designed to be a central vessel within the fleet, Louchuan was equipped for boarding enemy ships. She also carried siege weaponry for long-range engagements.
Pan-Asian Tier X Premium destroyer Lüshun
From 1949 through 1956, a scientific and technical support program was in effect between the U.S.S.R. and P.R.C. Under this program, among other things, the Soviets shared the blueprints of promising warships with China. In particular, China received technical documentation on a Project 41 destroyer. While China didn't build any ships of this project according to the original design, from 1968 through 1987, they built fifteen 051-class (Luda-class) missile destroyers that were based on the Soviet Project 41.
British Tier X Premium aircraft carrier Eagle
HMS Eagle was an Audacious-class aircraft carrier that served in the Royal Navy from 1951 through 1972. The carrier was completed to a substantially altered project and was later given an extensive modernization to carry and operate the most advanced deck-based aircraft of the 1950s, including jet aircraft.
German Tier IX Limited cruiser Black Roon
Unlike her predecessor, the ship was larger in size and carried considerably reinforced AA armament. Moreover, she had more main battery guns that were arranged differently, resulting in the ship's artillery power being concentrated at her aft end.
Soviet Tier VIII Limited battleship Black Vladivostok
One of the variants of the "battleship A" project intended for construction in accordance with the Great Ocean Fleet concept creation. She had heavy armor, high speed, and aviation equipment.
