Velos — Pan‑European Premium Tier VIII Destroyer.

USS Charrette, a Fletcher-class destroyer, was built in Boston. The ship fought in the Pacific, escorted aircraft carriers, conducted raid operations, and participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. In 1947, she was sent to the reserve for subsequent mothballing. Then, in 1959, the U.S. handed the ship over to Greece, where she received the name Velos. In 1994, the destroyer was declared an Anti-Dictatorial Museum in recognition of the Navy's devotion to the Constitution and democracy.

Velos was released as the final reward of Aegean Arrow campaign, which took place from August 5th to September 9th, 2024.
