Legends_Destroyer_Icon.png Z-31 — German • Tech Tree • Tier VI • Destroyer.

Following a halt to its construction, part of the 1936B destroyer class was laid down again in 1940 and 1941. The new 1936A(Mob) class was armed with 5.9-inch (150 mm) guns. Z-31, the lead ship of the class, was commissioned in April 1942. She saw action in the Barents Sea, where she fought convoy JW-51B, participated in a raid on Svalbard, and carried German troops from Finland to Norway in 1944. The ship suffered heavy damage in an encounter with British cruisers in January 1945. After the war, she was handed over to France and renamed Marceau.
