Named Ships Locations

[SinStar87]

Where are they and at what dates? I want to blow them up. And is it registered in some way or will they pop up somewhere else down the line? If they are registered then I really want to sink them all.

What?

Sorry didn't realize that was unclear. In the recog there are named ships, such as the Duke of York, the Hood, and the Prince of Wales, rather than destroyer/cruiser/battleship. So I want to know where exactly they can be found in game and what dates they can be found. I want to know so I can sink them. Since they are named, are they unique and thus when sunk never appear in that career again, or are they just randomly generate through patrols? If they are unique and removed on sinking then I want to sink all of them.

Unfortunately, sinking a capital ship does not remove it from the campaign unless it was one of kind and was sunk in real life.

For example, the Hood will disappear from game at the date sunk historically as will all major units. Until then, they re-spawn. That basically makes it impossible to render extinct a multi-vessel class of capital ships like the King George V class, as only one unit of the class was ever historically sunk. (the Prince of Wales). Many players have sunk the Nelson or Rodney over and over. They just come back for more.

So in short, you can sink as many Allied battleships, cruisers as you like, there will always be more randomly generated.

Dang would have been cool to sink all the major ships. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, but you have to ask yourself --

1.) How realistic is a submarine simulation where you could whittle the entire Royal Navy ( and maybe US Navy) down to naval irrelevance all by your lonesome.

2.) How realistic is it that Germany still surrenders in 1945 despite doing 1.)
