Joining the 1/350 line of ‘big ships’ for Cruel Seas are the new V/W Class Destroyers - HMS Vanquisher is shown here in her Long Range Escort (1943) configuration.

The V and W Class was an amalgam of six similar classes of destroyer built for the Royal Navy under the 9th, 10th, 13th and 14th of fourteen War Emergency Programmes during the First World War and are generally treated as one class. For their time they were among the most powerful and advanced ships of their type in the world, and set the trend for future British designs.

They arrived in time to see service in the First World War. During the interwar period these ships formed the backbone of the Royal Navy's destroyer flotillas until gradually replaced by new construction; by the mid-1930s most had been displaced to the reserve fleet. Most ships survived to make an extensive contribution to the Second World War effort, in the vital role of convoy escort, freeing up more modern ships for fleet action.

Perfect for escorting convoys and hunting U-Boats alike, this V/W Class Destroyer model represents HMS Vanquisher (in her Long Range Escort configuration from 1943), however she could just as easily represent a number of the (very large) list of V/W Class ships. This presents a number of fantastic conversion opportunities and there are few Royal Navy players who wouldn't be able to make good use of a V/W Class… or two in their collection!
