Special

De Zeven Provinciën — Dutch special premium Tier VIII cruiser.

The upgraded postwar project for cruiser De Zeven Provinciën. The cruiser started to look like a modern ship—her superstructures had been enlarged; torpedo launchers and on-board hydroplanes removed; 57 mm anti-aircraft artillery mounted; and the number of main guns, which occupied four twin-gun mounts, restored to the value specified in the initial project. De Zeven Provinciën entered service in 1953. Between 1962 and 1964, Terrier missile launchers were installed on board the ship in place of her rear turrets, thus making her a missile cruiser. The ship was sold to Peru in 1975, where she served until 1999.

Player Opinion

Pros:

Good main battery rate of fire and fire chance
Decent ballistics, shell velocity, and shell arcs
All main turrets can turn a full 360 degrees
Very powerful mid-range AA defenses
Airstrike armament can stack up to three charges and has the shortest cooldown of all Dutch cruisers
Improved Repair Party  consumable with a short cooldown
Access to the Engine Boost  consumable
Fairly small ship with excellent concealment

Cons:

Small hitpoint pool and weak armor protection
Undergunned for its tier, with only eight rifles in four twin turrets
Worse than average AP and HE alpha damage for its gun caliber
Main battery range is rather short
Long-range AA defenses are fairly lacking
Lacks Defensive AA Fire  or any utility consumables
Poor rudder shift for a light cruiser

 ====Design====
-De Zeven Provinciën-Class started as the Kijkduin-Class, which was meant to replace the aging Java-Class cruisers. Talks started in 1936. The design was made by the same Engineer as De Ruyter, Ir. G. 't Hooft. At first the design incorperated only eight guns in twin mounts, but in mid to late 1937 the underfiring turrets were replaced with triples. Around 1939 she was renamed to Eendracht. In 1947 her name was changed to De Ruyter and in 1950 the names of she and her sistership De Zeven Provinciën were swapped.

 ====Modifications====
-In 1946 the Eendracht was redesigned in Bath to incorperate lessons learned during the war. BL MK. XXIII were considered but the hull was not designed to incorperate the heavier turrets. A layout of four Bofors twin turrets was eventually agreed upon. The AA would have consisted of 40mm Bofors guns in STAAG mounts. These were eventually replaced with modern radar controlled single mounts and 57mm twin mounts. The lighter armaments of 12,7mm were to be increased to 20mms, but were eventually dropped entirely to redistribute funds. Furthermore, a new electornics suite was added as well as a 10,3cm Bofors Light-Rocket Launcher. These new additions caused her crew requirements to increase into the 900s. She was later refit to incorperate a Terrier-type missile launcher, replacing her aft turrets.

 ====Service====
-She was laid down before the war and captured by the Germans whilst in-progress. But she was never completed nor launched during the war. After the war the ships were to be completed following a new design and she was commissioned in 1953 as De Zeven Provinciën. In 1962 - 1964 she was rearmed with a Terrier system in place of her aft turrets. In 1975 she was decommissioned and sold to Peru.
