Gallant — British special premium Tier VI destroyer.
During the Spanish Civil War, HMS Gallant—a G-class destroyer—spent considerable time in Spanish waters, enforcing the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides of the conflict. In 1940, the destroyer participated in the evacuation of Allied troops from Dunkirk and also escorted convoys bound for Malta. During one such convoy run, she was damaged after colliding with a mine. Gallant was towed to Malta for repairs, where she then suffered further damage during an Italian and German air raid. The damage was so extensive that it made the ship uneconomical to repair. In 1943, Gallant was scuttled as a block ship in the fairway to prevent possible hostile landings.

Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Gallant are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Aiming Systems Modification 1
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1*
- Slot 5: Propulsion Modification 2
Gallant has access to Engine Boost Modification 1, a special upgrade which can be mounted in Upgrade Slot 4. This upgrade increases the duration of the Engine Boost consumable by 50%. This upgrade is a viable alternative to Propulsion Modification 1, because the additional speed provides Gallant with more ability to reposition and maneuver around enemy ships while maintaining enough distance to remain undetected.

Consumables
As a Tier VI Royal Navy destroyer, Gallant has access to the following standard destroyer consumables:
Although Gallant has mediocre firepower in terms of both torpedoes and main batteries, depending on the player's playstyle of preference, Smoke Generator is more suited for passive players looking to stealthily deal damage to unaware and/or unobservant enemy ships, while Engine Boost is more suitable for players looking to fight other enemy destroyers. Players that play a mix of using all possible main armaments are left to their discretion of mounting premium consumables.
Aggressive players are recommended to mount premium Damage Control Party II for repairing damaged modules (such as the engine or rudder) and premium Engine Boost II for better evasion. Aggressive players that can utilize both Smoke Generator and Engine Boost to their advantage in gun fights with other destroyers are recommended to mount the premium versions.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Gallant comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
