World of Warships News

Captain!

We've already unveiled the new Dockyard with battleship X WISCONSIN, but what if we told you that besides constructing the virtual ship, you can also contribute to restoring her in real life?

Two DLC packs with Stars 'n' Stripes permanent camouflages are now available in the World of Warships Store. By purchasing them, you'll be supporting the restoration of the second main battery turret of iconic battleship USS Wisconsin!

The DLC will be available until July 9, 2024.

USS Wisconsin is one of a few legendary U.S. Navy battleships. She served for almost half a century and is currently part of the museum exhibition at Nauticus in Norfolk, Virginia.
This April, the battleship celebrates her 80th anniversary since her commissioning. On this occasion, together with the Nauticus Foundation, we're launching a charity fundraiser for the restoration of the battleship's second main battery turret.

[h3]How to Participate[/h3]
Purchase one of the Wisconsin Turret Restoration DLC packs. 100% of the proceeds*, raised from the sale of this DLC will be transferred to the Nauticus Foundation for the restoration process.

The campaign runs until July 9, 2024, at which point, sales of the DLC will cease.
[h3]What Are the Campaign Goals?[/h3]
Our goal is to raise US$50,000. This amount is sufficient for the restoration of the turret. If the campaign is successful, restoration work will begin on the turret to turn it into a new museum exhibit, open to visitors of USS Wisconsin.

[h2]D-Day Operations Continue[/h2]


Update 13.5 will see the bulk of our D-Day event play out, with two separate themed PvE Operations, each lasting two weeks.

• Atlantic Wall Defense: During the first two weeks of the Update, you can take command of German Tier V-VII destroyers to lead the defense of the Normandy beaches from the Allied invasion fleet. Protect the coast and lay minefields to buy precious time for the arrival of reinforcements.
  
• Omaha Beach Assault: Take the reins of an Allied warship on a mission to save stranded ships and clear a path to the legendary Omaha beach for your fleet.
  

Classified Documents are available in all the D-Day Operations, and you can select which ones to bring into battle with you to gain additional combat bonuses against specific enemy types.

A new section of the dedicated reward track unlocks at the start of each Operation. Complete secondary tasks to progress along the track and earn valuable rewards, including permanent camouflages for Baltimore and Jervis and British Commander William Tennant. If you continue earning Stars and unlocking extra levels, you'll earn 1x D-Day container for each level.
