Ship Overview

All Ships

 Vampire II — Commonwealth • Legendary Tier • Destroyer.

After World War II, Australia started building four destroyers designed based on the most advanced British destroyer—Daring. HMAS Vampire II was laid down in July 1952 and named after her war-period successor. She differed from the British prototype by her specialized guns designed for operation in tropical waters. In 1990, Vampire II became a museum ship in Sydney.

Vampire II was released as the final of the Oceania's Spectre campaign, which took place from March 3rd to April 7th, 2025.
