Mighty Prinz

William Frederick Halsey, Jr. was a natural-born seaman. He was born in the small port town of Elizabeth, New Jersey, to the family of a naval officer. The future Admiral's ancestry included many pirates and whalers, so he was destined to spend his life at sea. In 1899, after failing to obtain a long-awaited appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Halsey Jr. entered the University of Virginia with the single purpose to join the Navy, even as a physician. The only great thing he acquired at university was his passion for American football.

When Halsey eventually joined the Naval Academy in 1900, little did they know they had opened their doors to one of their most famous graduates. However, capricious and stubborn, "Pudge" Halsey was not the sharpest tool in the shed. As far as his academic performance was concerned, he ranked 42nd out of 62 students of the class of 1904. The first ship in his naval career was the battleship Missouri. The symbolism of that assignment would only become apparent 41 years later.

Commissioned to his first officer rank in 1906, Halsey participated in the legendary cruise of the Great White Fleet — a 1907-1909 round-the-world voyage of the 16 advanced U.S. battleships, which was meant to demonstrate the increased naval power of the U.S.A — aboard the battleship Kansas. During the visit to Japan, Halsey had the chance to go aboard Mikasa, the renowned flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet. This glorified battleship didn't impress Halsey. After the cruise ended, the young officer left the ships with big guns for service aboard smaller, faster destroyers.

During World War I, Halsey was eventually assigned as a ship commander. The ship was USS Shaw, a Sampson-class destroyer. Once he happened to command a division consisting of two American destroyers and two British sloops, of which he would later recall that he was as "proud as a dog with two tails". By the end of the war, Halsey had been decorated with a Navy Cross.

Royal Navy destroyer Icarus, named after a character from ancient Greek mythology, was laid down in March 1936, in Clydebank, Scotland. The operational record of the ship during World War II was one of the most intense amongst all British destroyers. Icarus took part in numerous convoy operations in the Atlantic, Arctic, and Mediterranean, in combat operations in Nowegian waters, and in the Dunkirk evacuation and Normany landings. The war veteran was removed from the fleet lists in 1946.

Light cruiser Dallas was modeled in World of Warships based on Project 1934, developed by the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the U.S. Navy in late 1934. The new ships inherited many of the elements of the Brooklyn-class cruisers that were prepared for laying down at the time, but had a lower displacement due to restrictions imposed by the 1930 London Maritime Conference. Eventually, U.S. Navy Command abandoned the idea of building a small cruiser, and, having found a loophole in the contract, built two 10,000 ton ships instead--USS Helena and USS St. Louis--the full-fledged products of the evolution of the Brooklyn class.

French Navy battleship Normandie, named after the province in the north of France, was laid down on April 18, 1913, at a shipyard in the city of Saint-Nazaire. The unique feature of having four-gun main turrets was supposed to be the highlight of this super dreadnought. the ship's hull was put afload in October 1914, but World War I, which was gaining momentum at the time, prevented the continuation of her construction. After the war was over, French Navy Command considered various options for completeing the Normandie-class battleships, including potential modernization that would take their recent battle experience into account, but they eventually abandoned this idea at the end of 1919.

Mackensen-class battlecruisers, Prinz Eitel Friedrich being one of them, were giant monsters indeed, weighing in at 31,000 tons. Capable of speeds up to 28 knots, and wielding 300 mm-thick armor, their main armament was intended to consist of eight specially designed 350 mm guns with ammunition weighing 600kg. At the time when all four ships of the series were being laid down in 1915, there was no country in the world with such powerful and fast ships.
