Tier V · Battleship · U.K.
Rating C+ (Lower-mid within its tier and class · overall score 37) · Stealthy battleship
Stealthy battleship, suited to fire pressure. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 4 min on paper). With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. High HE fire potential (2.0 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Key skills: Engine Accelerator I ×2 (top speed +8%, 25 s); Precise Aiming System I ×2 (main battery accuracy +33%, 20 s).
