King George V — British Tier VII battleship.
In 1933, the British Admiralty started designing a new generation of battleships. By 1935, several designs had been submitted, and the design codenamed "14O" with twelve 356 mm guns housed in three turrets was chosen as the main one. The design was later modified to enhance the armor and given the new codename "14P." King George V, laid down in 1937, was based on this design. In 1941, the battleship was instrumental in the destruction of Bismarck and managed to inflict substantial damage to her. Later, in 1943, she was transferred to the Mediterranean Sea, where she covered the landing of Allied troops in Sicily.

Consumables
King George V can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Repair Party
The premium versions of both consumables are recommended in order to maximize King George V’s survivability.
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip King George V with Type 17 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
