The Clydebank Dockyard: Construction of Marlborough

In Update 0.10.11, you will be able to start building new British battleship Marlborough at the Clydebank Dockyard, as well as obtain two other ships—Dreadnought and Repulse!

IX Marlborough is based on a 1947 project with some of the design solutions borrowed from the Vanguard-class and King George V-class ships. Her primary feature is extensive but not particularly accurate artillery consisting of sixteen 356 mm guns housed in four turrets. While the battleship's armor is rather mediocre, this is compensated for by low detectability and numerous main battery guns that fire quite rapidly for her type and have a decent firing range.

Event Rules[/h2]
While constructing IX Marlborough, you can also obtain the famous III Dreadnought and a new ship, VI Repulse—one of the Renown-class battleships that fought during the First and Second World Wars. The ship is armed with six 381 mm guns housed in three turrets. The guns have a good reach and decent accuracy, and they reload quickly for a battleship. Repulse enjoys high speed and a large HP pool, but she is relatively poorly armored.
  • The construction process at the Dockyard comprises 32 phases.
  • These shipbuilding phases can be progressed through by completing Dockyard combat mission groups or by spending 1,500 Doubloons to pass through each phase.
  • If you want to complete shipbuilding phases at a discount, you can purchase Starter Packs: eleven shipbuilding phases in exchange for 9,900 Doubloons and five shipbuilding phases in exchange for 5,500 Doubloons.
  • You can complete combat mission groups throughout the entire duration of Update 0.10.11 and during the first 3 weeks of Update 0.11.0. The Dockyard will remain available until the end of Update 0.11.1.
  • In total, you can progress through 27 out of 32 shipbuilding phases by completing the Dockyard combat mission groups.

You'll receive III Dreadnought in the Snow and Stars permanent camouflage, a 6-skill-point Commander, and a Port slot as a reward for completing the 6th shipbuilding phase.

Completing the 18th shipbuilding phase will reward you with VI Repulse in the Snow and Stars permanent camouflage, a 6-skill-point Commander, and a Port slot.

Completing other shipbuilding phases will bring you Santa's Gift, Santa's Big Gift, and Santa's Mega Gift containers; New Year Sky expendable camouflages; days of Warships Premium Account; Coal; Steel; Research Points; and other valuable rewards. Upon completing the 32nd shipbuilding phase, you'll receive IX Marlborough in the War Paint camouflage, a Commander with 10 skill points, a Port slot, and a commemorative flag.
    If you already have III Dreadnought in your Port, you'll receive 5,250,000 Credits as compensation.


    If you decide to complete the construction of IX Marlborough by spending Doubloons, you'll still be able to progress through the Dockyard combat mission groups. In that case, instead of the usual rewards for completing the shipbuilding phases, you'll get 250 Steel for each completed phase.

Combat Missions[/h2]
The new game event tasks you with completing 72 combat missions spread across eight groups. The first group will become available with the release of Update 0.10.11, while those that follow will be unlocked on a weekly basis.

Completing each of the first five groups will progress you through three shipbuilding phases—two for accomplishing certain missions and one for finishing the group. Completing each of the remaining three combat mission groups will progress you through four shipbuilding phases—three for accomplishing certain missions and one for finishing the group.

    The Dockyard combat mission groups will be available throughout the entire duration of Update 0.10.11 and during the first 3 weeks of Update 0.11.0.
