(Vanilla) HMS Lion, 1938 Contract Design
Andromeda(USS Louisiana BB-71) all rights reserved.
This ship will become a preset ship in the future.
The Lion class was a class of fast battleships designed for the Royal Navy in the late 1930s. They were a larger, improved version of the preceding King George V class, with 16-inch (406 mm) guns. Only two ships were laid down before the Second World War began in September 1939 and a third was ordered during the war, but their construction was suspended shortly afterwards. The design was modified in light of war experience in 1942, but the two ships already begun were scrapped later in the year.
This ship is built entirely according to the original blueprints of Lion class battleship 1938 design provided by RMG, achieving 100% pure historical accuracy.
