Defence — British Tier X cruiser.

A hypothetical development of "big cruiser" designs created by British shipbuilders in the late 1930s, with the main battery gun caliber increased to 356 mm. The ship was conceived as a response to the strengthening of the Japanese Navy. Her main purpose is to counter enemy heavy cruisers.

Defence was first released on DD MMM YYYY, as the reward for 40th stage of Update 12.11's Salvage for Victory event.
