World of Warships is the largest virtual shipyard in the world.

The quality of the work done by our artists improves each year, and the requirements for the accuracy of the models they create grow respectively. Unfortunately, the in-game camera doesn't allow you to see all of their details and beauty. In the Dry Dock show, you'll be able to see the refined beauty of our in-game models and duly appreciate the immaculate details of the various objects on their decks.

Today, we're focusing on a special German Tier VIII Premium aircraft carrier. Graf Zeppelin is a fast aircraft carrier with extensive secondary and dual-purpose artillery. If the project had been carried out as historically planned, the ship would have been equipped with the most powerful propulsion among all ships of the German Navy. However, changes in the priorities of the country's shipbuilding program prevented the carrier from being finished before the end of World War II.

[h2]The "Five Epochs of the Navy" Campaign[/h2]
The new permanent Campaign comprises 50 tasks grouped into five missions, each of which is dedicated to a specific shipbuilding epoch. To finish the Campaign, you need to complete tasks playing ships of various tiers: starting from Tier II–IV ships for the first mission, and progressing to Tiers VIII–X for the final mission. Most of the tasks must be completed playing certain ships related to the history of the navy. For example, some of the tasks of the first mission are inspired by the development of battleship building technologies and should be completed playing battleships of this era, such as III South Carolina, III Kawachi, IV Gangut, or III Dreadnought—which contributed to the adoption of the name given to this period of naval history.

However, you can complete the Campaign, collect all the containers of the new collection, and obtain the final reward by completing the first three tasks of each mission playing any ships of the relevant tiers.

The reward for completing the Campaign is the Epoch permanent camouflage, which can be mounted on all Tier IX ships, except for IX AL Sov. Rossiya.

The first Directive has become available with the release of Update 0.9.8, while those that follow will be unlocked each week.

Please note: you can complete the tasks of each mission multiple times. This will allow you to continue earning Stars upon each completion, but you'll receive the reward for completing the task for the first time only.

[h2]The "Five Epochs of the Navy" Collection[/h2]
The "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection is made up of five sections, with six elements in each. Each section is dedicated to a specific period in the history of the navy in the first half of the 20th century—from ships of the dreadnought era to those of World War II and the post-war years. Having completed the entire collection, you'll have learned about the construction history, design features, and fates of prominent representatives of the shipbuilding epochs.

The reward for completing each section is 1 day of Warships Premium Account. The reward for completing the entire collection is the Epoch permanent camouflage.

Elements of the collection can only be obtained from the same-name containers. The exchange rate for duplicate elements is 1:1. To exchange duplicates, you need to select a vacant slot in a collection section and confirm that you want to exchange your duplicates for the missing item in the window that appears.

You can obtain 30 "Five Epochs of the Navy" containers by completing tasks of the same-name Campaign.

[h3]A "Five Epochs of the Navy" container includes:[/h3]

• One element of the "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection.
  
• 1x World of Warships Anniversary camouflage.
  
• One of the following items: 2x signals of the same type (Zulu, Papa Papa, Equal Speed Charlie London, or India Bravo Terrathree); or 500 Free XP; or 50,000 credits.
