What? We lost?

Next is France's Richelieu

Joining the Axis, huh?

But there are so many battleships so it's hard to remember.

No no, this gun had a fast muzzle velocity. Its range was 42.8km, as much as Yamato.

*sparkle*

A new foreign battleship is expected to appear during spring!

And later on, she fought at Indochina Allied with the British.

Isn't that small compared to Yamato's 46cm?

So it became a German ship?

No, it fled France. Except soon after due to whatever events, it fought against the British.

I'm not joining them.

Huh?

The nameships

Desu!

I say NO THANKS to copycats!!

Fuoco!!

Finally is America's Iowa.

Third is England's Vanguard. She was completed in 1946.

Her main armament consisted of 3 sets of 381mm in triple turrets.

She's young-desu... And she also has the English-stereotype...

Oh! that's great!

Think about the Game Balance - Desu! We need to win some and lose some against the Abyssals.-desu.

Taking Bismarck as an example, let's look the latest ships from each country.

That's after the war!

First is Italy's Littorio. She was renamed Italia two months before the armistice, being a battleship bearing her country's name.

Huh?

US Navy's last of its ultimate battleships. Built two years after Yamato. There were plans for Yamato's suicide fleet to fight against her in Okinawa.

Right Oneesama!!

I'll feel confident if I have her in our fleet!! What kind of equipment does she have?

Quarreling? Nope~! We're best friends!

She was equipped with 8 sets of Quad-Tomahawks and 4 sets of Quad-Harpoon Missiles as her final armaments... She was struck in 1995. She was initially stricken in 1995, but was reinstated from 1999 to 2006 to comply with Federal Legislation that required retention and maintenance of 2 Iowa-class battleships. She was struck again from the Naval Vessel Register in 2006.

I will study and get complimented by the admiral-desu!

France signed its armistice when the ship was 95% built.

Germany: Shleswig-Holstein Class Scharnhorst Class Bismarck Class Italy: Conte di Cavour Class Caio Dullio Class Littorio Class United States: New York Class Nevada Class Pennsylvania Class New Mexico Class Tennessee Class North Carolina Class South Dakota Class Iowa Class England: Queen Elizabeth Class Revenge Class (Renown Class) Royal Sovereign Class HMS Hood Nelson Class HMS Vanguard France: Courbet Class Bretagne Class Dunkerque Class Richelieu Class Soviet: Gangut Class Arkhangelsk Class Etc...
