Vanguard — United Kingdom · Tier VIII · Battleship

An urgent need for modern battleships brought the British back to completing the construction of the Lion-class battleships. In early 1941, project 15E with 381 mm guns was completed. In October of that year, a battleship named Vanguard was laid down. She entered service only in 1946 and was the last battleship built in the world. Throughout her service, the ship was used for diplomatic cruises and exercises.
