Ships[/h2] The bundles will be available for purchase until: Mon. 10 May 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

A special bundle is available in the Armory with two new ships—VIII HSF Harekaze II and V HSF Hiei—as well as the unique M119 and S120 permanent camouflages for X Yamato and IX Musashi, respectively, plus other in-game items.

If deemed necessary, balance changes may be applied to VIII HSF Harekaze II and V HSF Hiei.

The Premium Shop and Armory offer a bundle with ships VIII HSF Harekaze and VI HSF Admiral Graf Spee; the Y118 permanent camouflage for IX Musashi; the HSF ISOROKU permanent camouflage for HSF Harekaze; and other in-game items, including the Type 10 alternative permanent camouflages for HSF Harekaze and HSF Admiral Graf Spee.

VIII HSF Harekaze is a Japanese destroyer from the High School Fleet anime series. Powerful, long-range torpedoes in combination with good concealment allow the ship to carry out devastating surprise attacks, while the availability of several artillery armament variants allows the destroyer to determine her own fighting style.

VI HSF Admiral Graf Spee is a German cruiser from the High School Fleet anime series. This German Navy heavy cruiser was known as a "pocket battleship". She bristles with battleship-sized main guns and has a strong HP pool, effective secondary battery, and the Repair Party consumable. Like conventional cruisers, she has torpedoes and a choice between the Hydroacoustic Search or Defensive AA Fire consumables at her disposal. Thus, a wide variety of gameplay options are open to HSF Admiral Graf Spee.

Apart from a large bundle with VIII HSF Harekaze II and V HSF Hiei, these ships can be purchased in the Armory together with Port slots and combat missions that grant +200% XP per battle.

VIII HSF Harekaze II is a Japanese destroyer armed with 150 mm guns—an unusual feature for this ship type—that fire HE and AP shells with high damage characteristics. The ship is also equipped with the Hydroacoustic Search consumable. Owing to the low detectability and high damage of her torpedoes, the ship's primary gameplay involves stealthy torpedo attacks.

V HSF Hiei is a fast battleship armed with eight 356 mm guns that fire HE and AP shells with decent damage characteristics. The ship also boasts a large HP pool and very long firing range for her tier, but has low accuracy and high detectability.

In the Premium Shop, you can purchase VI HSF Admiral Graf Spee and VIII HSF Harekaze bundled with a combat mission that grants +200% XP per battle, a Port slot, and the Type 10 alternative camouflages. The HSF Harekaze bundle also holds the HSF ISOROKU permanent camouflage.

The High School Fleet Anime Series[/h2]
A century ago, most of Japan’s territory was submerged as a result of plate subduction. One after another, Coastal Cities began to emerge in order to preserve the remaining landmass—thus, seaborne routes became more important and their protection became a crucial issue.

Meanwhile, service in the Navy became highly popular among women and a special division for keeping the sea safe, the Blue Mermaids, was created.

The main protagonists of the anime series, childhood friends Akeno Misaki and Moeka China, enrolled in Yokosuka Girls’ Marine High School together with various other girls to become a part of the famous elite unit.

Akeno Misaki was assigned as captain of training destroyer Harekaze, and Moeka took up the captain’s post on battleship Musashi. The series starts when both warships set off for their first maritime exercises. However, what should have been standard training soon turns out to be a real battle.
