Rooke

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Rooke — British • Tech Tree • Tier VI • Battleship.

The K2 and K3 battlecruiser projects, presented in 1920, were deemed to be unfeasible due to their huge size. The designers of these projects later came up with the J3 version: a smaller variant of the ship, armed with 15-inch (381 mm) guns housed in three turrets and with her displacement reduced by 10,000 metric tons. Such a ship could use any dry dock fit for Hood and could also pass through the important Suez or Panama canals.

Compromising: High caliber AP shells overpen the armor, but may still arm, depending on shell velocity.
