?''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is, in more ways than one, an up-tiered ''[[Warspite]]''; even so far as possessing identical guns to that of her Tier VI cousin, albeit with improved shells. Like ''Warspite'', ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has excellent maneuverability and main battery accuracy among battleships at her tier, but suffers from comparably weaker armor to her counterparts in the other nations’ tech trees. Even when compared to her tech-tree counterpart, ''[[Monarch]]'', ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has a noticeably larger and easier to hit citadel. Like all other British battleships, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is covered with 32 mm plating which makes her quite vulnerable to heavy cruiser High Explosive shells and IFHE equipped light cruisers and destroyers. +Tier VIII Premium British battleship ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is essentially an up-tiered ''[[Warspite]]'', even so far as possessing identical guns to that of her Tier VI cousin (albeit with improved shells).

?Her main battery is an improved version of that found on ''Warspite'', with similar dispersion characteristics, and the all too familiar turret traverse speed, or lack thereof. Her Armor Piercing shell has a faster muzzle velocity, which allows for an easier time with long-range gunnery. Her High Explosive shell is similar to that of ''Monarch'' and other tech-tree British battleships, with high damage and a high fire chance. With only eight guns, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s firepower against other battleships, and even some cruisers, often feels anemic. This is offset somewhat by a quick reload of 25 seconds on her main battery, and her aforementioned accuracy.+Her main battery is an improved version of that found on ''Warspite'', with similar dispersion characteristics and the all-too-familiar turret traverse speed, or lack thereof. Her armor piercing shells have a faster muzzle velocity that allows for an easier time with long-range gunnery, while her high explosive shells are similar to that of ''Monarch'' and other tech-tree British battleships, with high alpha damage. With only eight guns, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s firepower against other battleships, and even some cruisers, often feels anemic. This is offset somewhat by a quick reload of 25 seconds on her main battery, and her aforementioned accuracy. Her AP shells struggle to do much damage on battleships even when broadside and any angling will cause them to bounce off without doing any damage. As a result, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' AP is best used against enemy cruisers, as they are less likely to overpenetrate and cause minimal damage while her HE should be used against enemy battleships. Her HE shells, while having high damage, have a rather average fire chance more akin to battleships of other nations.
  
?The largest flaw that captains of ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will find is with her firing angles. Both her forward and rear firing angles are atrocious, requiring significant amounts of broadside to be shown in order to bring all guns to bear on a target. As ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' does not possess a well protected citadel (unlike ''Monarch''), showing large amounts of broadside will often lead to catastrophic amounts of damage taken when fired upon by enemy battleships. Captains are encouraged to remain angled with only her fore or aft set of guns on target if there’s any possibility of an enemy returning fire. Luckily, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s excellent rudder shift time can allow her to “wiggle” her remaining set of guns onto and off of targets quite quickly. +The largest flaw that captains of ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will find is with her firing angles. Both her forward and rear firing angles are atrocious, requiring significant amounts of broadside to be shown in order to bring all guns to bear on a target. As ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' does not possess a well protected or low citadel (unlike ''Monarch''), exposing large amounts of the ship's side armor will often lead to catastrophic amounts of damage taken when fired upon by enemy battleships. Captains are encouraged to remain angled with only her fore or aft set of guns on target if there’s any possibility of an enemy returning fire. Luckily, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s excellent rudder shift time (just 9.7 seconds) can allow her to “wiggle” her remaining set of guns onto and off of targets quite quickly.
  
?''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is best played from mid-range, where her lack of armor is less noticeable, and her accurate low-volume firepower can be better put to use. Her slow turret traverse and easily hit citadel make her sub-par at brawling, while her small turning circle and good concealment allow her to disengage quite easily. Fans of ''Warspite'' should have no problems playing ''{{#var:ship_name}}''; captains who have no experience with ''Warspite'' may struggle with her peculiarities, but she is easy to learn, and is a capable Tier VIII battleship.+''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is best played from mid-range, where her lack of armor is less noticeable, and her accurate low-volume firepower can be better put to use.

 ===History=== ===History===
?HMS ''Vanguard'' was a British fast battleship built during the Second World War and commissioned after the end of the war. She was the biggest and fastest of the Royal Navy's battleships, the last battleship to be launched in the world, and the only ship of her class. <br /> 
?The Royal Navy anticipated being outnumbered by the combined German and Japanese battleships in the early 1940s, and had therefore started building the ''[[Lion]]''-class battleships. However the time-consuming construction of the triple-16-inch turrets for the ''Lion''-class would delay their completion until 1943 at the earliest. The British had enough 15-inch (381 mm) guns and turrets in storage to allow one ship of a modified ''Lion''-class design with four twin-15-inch turrets to be completed faster than the ''Lion''-class vessels that had already been laid down. <br /> 
?Work on ''Vanguard'' was started and stopped several times during the war, and her design was revised several times during her construction to reflect war experience. These stoppages and changes prevented her from being completed before the end of the war.<br /> 
?''Vanguard's'' first task after completing her sea trial at the end of 1946 was, early the next year, to convey King George VI and his family on the first Royal Tour of South Africa by a reigning monarch. While refitting after her return, she was selected for another Royal Tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1948. This was cancelled due to King George's declining health and ''Vanguard'' briefly became flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet in early 1949. After her return home in mid-1949, she became flagship of the Home Fleet Training Squadron. Throughout her career, the battleship usually served as the flagship of any unit to which she was assigned. During the early 1950s, ''Vanguard'' was involved in a number of training exercises with NATO forces. In 1953 she participated in Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation Review. While she was refitting in 1955, the Admiralty announced that the ship was going to be put into reserve upon completion of the work. ''Vanguard'' was sold for scrap and was broken up beginning in 1960.  
 ====Design==== ====Design====
?The last battleship of the Royal Navy, ''Vanguard'' was designed relatively rapidly. Originally, the Royal Navy had planned to match current and future construction of the German, Italian, and Japanese navies with the six ships of the ''[[Lion]]''-class, with two ships being included in each budget from 1938 to 1940. Although the two battleships of the 1938 program, ''Temeraire'' and ''Lion'', were laid down in June and July of 1939, it became readily apparent that none of the ships would be available until 1943, due to difficulties in manufacturing new 406mm (16”) guns. Because of this, design studies were launched that July in regards to utilizing four twin turrets of the BL 15”/45 Mk.I kept in reserve (from the ''Courageous''-class battlecruisers, which had been rebuilt as aircraft carriers), and ''Vanguard'' became a hybrid variant of the ''Lion''-class, utilizing the elderly BL 15”/45 Mk.I. As her construction was halted and restarted multiple times during WWII, she incorporated numerous modifications to reflect the lessons learned by the Royal Navy in the conflict.+The last battleship of the Royal Navy, HMS ''Vanguard'' was designed relatively rapidly.

?Her hull form remained largely the same as that of the ''Lion''-class, which included the utilization of a transom stern, for greater efficiency at high speeds. Thus, despite her weight gains over the process of modification, she retained her 30-knot top speed, making her both the fastest battleship to ever be built by the Royal Navy, but also the only battleship ever built with a transom stern. Operational range was improved by increasing fuel stowage from 3720 tons in the ''Lion'' design to 4423 tons, mimicking a similar modification to the ''[[King George V]]''-class battleships.+Her hull form remained largely the same as that of the ''Lion''-class, which included the utilization of a transom stern, for greater efficiency at high speeds.

?In order to prevent the draft from becoming too deep to traverse the Suez canal, beam was increased by 2.5 meters, and upper 5m part of the main armor belt was thinned by an inch, leaving 356mm abreast the magazines and 343mm abreast the machinery spaces. The lower portion, 2.5m tall, tapered from 356/343mm to 114mm at a bottom edge. The armor belt were connected by 305mm transverse bulkheads and in order to defend against splinter damage from near-missing bombs and shells, a 51mm splinter belt protected the waterline past the citadel, extending stem to stern. Additionally, as a result of the Battle of Denmark Strait, 38mm bulkheads were added to the magazines behind the longitudinal torpedo defense bulkhead for additional protection. The torpedo defense bulkhead was made of two 22mm plates (22 + 22mm) and extended from just fore of ‘A’ barbette to just aft of ‘C’ barbette, where only the 38mm bulkhead protecting the magazines provided defense against torpedo impacts. The horizontal armor was identical to the ''King George V'' and ''Lion''-classes, 127mm over the machinery spaces, and 152mm over the magazines. +In order to prevent the draft from becoming too deep to traverse the Suez Canal, beam was increased by 2.5 meters, and the upper part of the main armor belt was thinned by an inch, leaving 356mm abreast the magazines and 343mm abreast the machinery spaces.

?The protection of the main battery turrets was replaced, with 330mm faceplates and 152mm turret roofs. Barbettes were 330mm towards the beam, but tapered to 279mm on the centerline. The protection of the secondary battery was improved in order to protect them from 500-lb. bombs, being increased to 64mm compared to other mounts.

Vanguard — British premium Tier VIII battleship.

The last battleship of the British Royal Navy. Due to specific conditions during the construction phase, she combined high speed and powerful AA guns with up-to-date equipment while still using largely obsolete main battery guns.

Vanguard was first released for sale worldwide on 16 November 2018.

Player Opinion

Performance

Tier VIII Premium British battleship Vanguard is essentially an up-tiered Warspite, even so far as possessing identical guns to that of her Tier VI cousin (albeit with improved shells). Like Warspite, Vanguard has excellent maneuverability and main battery accuracy among battleships at her tier, but suffers from comparably weaker armor to her counterparts in the other nations’ tech trees. Even when compared to her tech-tree counterpart, Monarch, Vanguard has a noticeably larger and easier to hit citadel. Like all British battleships, Vanguard is covered with 32mm plating that makes her highly vulnerable to heavy cruiser high explosive shells and IFHE equipped light cruisers and destroyers.

Her main battery is an improved version of that found on Warspite, with similar dispersion characteristics and the all-too-familiar turret traverse speed, or lack thereof. Her armor piercing shells have a faster muzzle velocity that allows for an easier time with long-range gunnery, while her high explosive shells are similar to that of Monarch and other tech-tree British battleships, with high alpha damage. With only eight guns, Vanguard’s firepower against other battleships, and even some cruisers, often feels anemic. This is offset somewhat by a quick reload of 25 seconds on her main battery, and her aforementioned accuracy. Her AP shells struggle to do much damage on battleships even when broadside and any angling will cause them to bounce off without doing any damage. As a result, Vanguard's AP is best used against enemy cruisers, as they are less likely to overpenetrate and cause minimal damage while her HE should be used against enemy battleships. Her HE shells, while having high damage, have a rather average fire chance more akin to battleships of other nations.

The largest flaw that captains of Vanguard will find is with her firing angles. Both her forward and rear firing angles are atrocious, requiring significant amounts of broadside to be shown in order to bring all guns to bear on a target. As Vanguard does not possess a well protected or low citadel (unlike Monarch), exposing large amounts of the ship's side armor will often lead to catastrophic amounts of damage taken when fired upon by enemy battleships. Captains are encouraged to remain angled with only her fore or aft set of guns on target if there’s any possibility of an enemy returning fire. Luckily, Vanguard’s excellent rudder shift time (just 9.7 seconds) can allow her to “wiggle” her remaining set of guns onto and off of targets quite quickly.

Vanguard is best played from mid-range, where her lack of armor is less noticeable, and her accurate low-volume firepower can be better put to use. Her slow turret traverse and easily hit citadel make her sub-par at brawling, while her small turning circle and good concealment allow her to disengage quite easily. Fans of Warspite or should have no problems playing Vanguard; captains who have no experience with Warspite may struggle with her peculiarities, but she is easy to learn, and is a capable Tier VIII battleship.

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Vanguard from the NA forums

Pros:

  • Second largest hitpoint pool in tier/class, after Vladivostok
  • Best main battery accuracy for a Tier 8 battleship
  • Good main battery traverse speed
  • Quick main battery reload speed
  • Powerful HE shells with high damage and improved penetration
  • Amazing rudder shift for a battleship, better than some heavy cruisers'
  • Strong mid-range AA suite
  • Good concealment, as low as 12.6km with camo, upgrades and captain skills
  • Enhanced Repair Party While active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second. consumable heals more than standard and has a fast cooldown

Cons:

  • Only eight 381mm main guns hamper DPM and overmatching capability
  • Very poor firing angles
  • Weak armor, mostly consisting of 32mm common plating
  • Large citadel sits above the waterline and is exposed to enemy fire
  • Low torpedo protection
  • Low HE shell fire chance for a British battleship
  • Lacks access to Spotting Aircraft While active, a spotter plane circles the ship enhancing main battery firing range. and Catapult Fighter While active, a group of fighter planes circles the ship providing protection by attacking incoming enemy aircraft.

Research

As a premium ship, Vanguard doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Vanguard are as follows:

Commander Skills

The skill set for Vanguard is fairly typical of other British battleships, with Priority Target at Level 1, Expert Marksman at Level 2, Superintendent at Level 3, and Fire Prevention and Concealment Expert at Level 4. The remaining points should be put into Adrenaline Rush, Expert Loader and Jack of All Trades. Mounting the Unique British commanders on her is a very good option because of the extra bonuses for Expert Marksman and Jack of All Trades.

Consumables

Vanguard can equip the following consumables:

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Vanguard comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

Vanguard captains should mount standard signal flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) flags are recommended to increase the ship's top speed. India Delta (+20% to the amount of HP recovered when the Repair Party consumable is used.) and India Yankee (-20% to fire duration.) flags should be mounted to improve the ship's survivability. November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.) flags should also be mounted to decrease consumable cooldown time. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to increase the ship's economic gains per battle.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
