Greetings fellow forumites,   Having my PC dying on me while travelling has left me with way too much time on my hands.   HMS Vanguard         I'll quickly go over the historical aspect of the ship, although not too much in detail.   As you can see, she had a rather uneventful career and a somewhat sad end to her.   How would she translate in game? Well, here is where the fun begins, and we don't even need the RN superheal to make it work.   Survivability   Armament:   Anti-air   Maneuverability   Concealment     Overall, what we find based on these (projected) stats, is that Vanguard would be, above all else, an actual (classical, so to speak) tank. She would make use of her hitpoints and [angled] armour to soak up damage, while dishing it out just as well. I decided not to give her any gimmicky consumable, so she is basically just a BB with good anti-air, strong (while certainly not the strongest) armour and generally just a sturdy ship.   She doesn't get hydro, or radar (which she could comfortably have, given her radar equipment out of the shipyard), she doesn't even get an aircraft, as the only aircraft she ever had were rotary wing (and those aren't in the game)   Hope you guys like the proposal, it would be cool to see the last ever BB in the game.   Gallery, via MaritimeQuest
