Caprice
Caprice — British
• Premium • Tier VII • Destroyer.
Caprice was once a French ship, but you know what pirates say: Take whatever you want and give back nothing! So now, naturally, she's part of the British fleet thanks to fabulous Ariadne M. Davis. In case you're wondering, this ship looks very similar to French Tier VII destroyer Le Fantasque for some strange reason.
Caprice was temporarily released in the store from December 1st to December 12th, 2022, in relation to the special "pirates" event.
