Campbeltown
Tier III · Destroyer · U.K. · Premium
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 15) · Long-range destroyer
Long-range destroyer. It is weak against destroyers (AP deals a same-tier destroyer's HP in about 5 min on paper · destroyer-calibre AP rarely overpens destroyers). Its 6.3 km torpedoes outrange its 5.22 km detectability by 1.1 km, ideal for smoke-backed ambushes. Main battery range is 7.0 km, and dispersion at 6 km is about 94 m, 13% tighter than average. 5.22 km detectability plus smoke make it strong at stealth and spotting. Weak guns: avoid gunfights and focus on torpedoes or spotting.

This warship belonged to a series of U.S.-built "flushdeckers". In 1940, she was transferred to the U.K. Along with her extremely powerful torpedo armament, Campbeltown was also noted for her uncommonly high speed for that era.
