Campbeltown — British special premium Tier III destroyer.

The warship belonged to a series of U.S.-built "flush-deckers". In 1940, she was transferred to the U.K. Along with her extremely powerful torpedo armament, Campbeltown was also noted for uncommonly high speed for that era. The distinctive placement of her torpedo tubes allowed her to quickly concentrate torpedo fire on either side.

She was first released for sale on 25 May 2016 on the NA servers.

+===History===
+The HMS ''Campbeltown'' was a Town-class destroyer of the Royal Navy that was famous for her role in the St. Nazaire Raid in 1942. Originally the ''[[Wickes]]''-class destroyer USS ''Buchanan'' (DD-131), she was given to the Royal Navy in 1940 as a part of the Destroyers for Bases Agreement. After being refitted, she served as an escort for British convoys between Britain and West Africa before being chosen for Operation Chariot. In preparation for the raid, she had her 3rd and 4th funnels removed to mimic a German torpedo boat, she received extra bridge armor and she was filled with high explosives to be used as a ram to disable the Louis Joubert drydock; the only German-occupied dock on the Atlantic coast large enough to hold the battleship ''[[Tirpitz]]''. The raid was an absolute success when the explosives detonated successfully and put the docks out of commission for the rest of the war.
