World of Warships Supertest: British Battleship Duke of York

2 min read

HMS Duke of York was a King George V-class battleship of the Royal Navy. Laid down in May 1937, the ship was constructed by John Brown and Company at Clydebank, Scotland, and commissioned into the Royal Navy on 4 November 1941, subsequently seeing combat service during the Second World War.

Duke of York 1

On 26 December 1943 Duke of York was part of a task force which encountered the German battleship Scharnhorst off the North Cape of Norway. During the engagement that followed, Scharnhorst hit Duke of York twice with little effect but was herself hit by several of Duke of York’s 14-inch shells, silencing one of her turrets and hitting a boiler room. After temporarily escaping from Duke of York’s heavy fire, Scharnhorst was struck several times by torpedoes, allowing Duke of York to again open fire, contributing to the eventual sinking of Scharnhorst after a running action lasting ten-and-a-half hours. After the war, Duke of York remained active until she was laid up in November 1951. She was eventually scrapped in 1957.

  1. And here is another point, SHE DOES NOT HAVE HEAL. So, Duck of York trade heal, which means 60% or more health, and 5s reload with an aa which will be easily knocked out by 4 or 5 CA he rounds. We thought Red Crimea is ****ty enough, WG gived us ******* Huang He. We thought Huang He is ****ty enough, WG gives us ******* Duck of York. What’s next??
