Tier VI Rahmat
A Dido-class light cruiser built in Great Britain. Armed with dual-purpose artillery, she was designed to protect squadrons and convoys against attacking destroyers and aircraft carriers.
Tier VII Chumphon
An American-built Atlanta-class light cruiser. Compared to the initial project, she had enhanced short-range AA armament at the cost of a reduced number of main battery turrets.
Tier VIII Harbin
A small cruiser with dual-purpose artillery, this project was developed in the U.S.S.R. at the turn of 1930s (MK-6). The ship was primarily designed to counter enemy destroyers.
Tier IX Sejong

German Tier VI destroyer Karl von Schönberg
A design from the “1934-type” destroyers, the ship was relatively large for her type and featured very powerful artillery armament comprising 150 mm cruiser-caliber guns.
French Tier VII cruiser Toulon
A project of a “battleship with a displacement of 17,500 tons,” which was effectively a super-heavy cruiser. The main purpose of the ship was to counter “Washington Treaty” cruisers.
Pan-American Tier VIII battleship Atlântico
A project of a battleship equipped with British-made 381 mm main guns and American dual-purpose AA artillery.
American Tier VIII cruiser San Diego

Italian Tier IX battleship Giuseppe Verdi
A variant of a battleship that was designed in Italy in the mid-1930s. She embodied the further development of the Vittorio Veneto-class warships, equipped with 406 mm main battery guns.
European Tier X destroyer Småland
One of the Swedish Royal Navy’s largest and most powerful destroyers, armed with highly effective 120 mm main guns boasting a high rate of fire. The ship’s distinctive feature was her torpedo launchers with different numbers of tubes.
Soviet Tier X battleship Slava
A battleship design developed after the end of World War II (Project 24). The ship constituted a further development of the Sovetsky Soyuz class, intended to counter U.S. battleships of the Iowa and Montana classes.
New Limited Ships
Pan-Asian Tier VI cruiser Black Huanghe
A British light cruiser (HMS Aurora) intended to carry out close reconnaissance and counter-destroyer operations. In 1948, the ship was transferred to an East Asian nation.
American Tier VIII battleship Black Kansas
This battleship design was used as the basis for constructing a number of warships after World War I. She’s an enhanced version of the Colorado class with more powerful armament. This warship was the crown of the developmental process of “standard” battleships of the U.S. Navy.
French Tier X battleship Black République
A variant of a battleship design from the post-war period. Her main distinguishing features were very powerful AA guns and 431 mm main battery guns that were developed in France in the late 1930s.
