Stord | Tier 6 | Destroyer

With the outbreak of World War II, Great Britain started the mass construction of destroyers in batches of eight. As a rule, all of them had four single-gun mounts with 102–120 mm guns and one or two quadruple-tube torpedo launchers. Two of them were transferred to the Norwegian Navy and received the names "Stord" and "Svenner." Stord entered service in September 1943. In 1943 and 1944, she participated in operations in the North Atlantic and escorted polar convoys. During the Battle of the North Cape, Stord was involved in sinking German battleship Scharnhorst. In 1944, the destroyer participated in covering the landings in Normandy, then returned to escorting convoys heading for the U.S.S.R. After the war, Stord became the flagship of the Norwegian Navy.
