All Ships

 Nottingham — British • Premium • Tier VII • Cruiser.

After signing the Washington Naval Treaty, Great Britain immediately got down to the task of designing cruisers. One of the great enthusiasts for the development of a new cruiser class was Sir George Thurston, who designed such ships as Kongō and Erin. In 1926, he presented three cruiser projects to the Royal Navy. Project A and B resembled the County-class cruisers, while Project C turned out to be more radical. This innovative design positioned the main battery turrets at the bow to achieve a better concentration of fire.

Nottingham was released as the final reward of the Phantom of Sherwood campaign, which took place from November 3rd to December 1st, 2025.
