Jervis
Tier VII · Destroyer · U.K.
Rating S- (Near elite within its tier and class · overall score 83) · Stealth torpedo destroyer
Stealth torpedo destroyer, suited to torpedo ambush. Top speed is 35.6 kn (1 kn below average), but 7.6 s acceleration and 3.0 s rudder shift and 10.9°/s turning make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. Add 4 charges of Fuel Smoke to break vision whenever it gets caught, and its survivability is very high. Its 7.8 km torpedoes outrange its 6 km detectability by 1.8 km, ideal for smoke-backed ambushes. Main battery range is 8.4 km, and dispersion at 6 km is about 95 m, 19% tighter than average. Weak guns: avoid gunfights and focus on torpedoes or spotting.

The J-class ships became the pioneers of the new generation of British destroyers. Their increased size enabled them to carry powerful artillery in new twin mounts.
