Z-44 — German Premium Tier VIII Destroyer.

The Type 1936B class destroyer was a modification of the preceding Type 1936A class which retained the same hull design but reverted to the lighter 5-inch main armament of earlier destroyers to reduce top weight and improve sea keeping capabilities. The Kriegsmarine would complete three vessels of the class during WW2. Z-44 herself would not be completed, being lost to an air raid on the 29th of July 1944.

Z-44 was released as the final reward of the Wagen Un Winnen campaign, which took place from August 28th to October 2nd, 2023.
