Gameplay Notes

Analysis

Priority: High

A four slot light cruiser from the UK, similar to Ooyodo, who brings lots of flexibility to the fleet.
This turns her into an hard-hitting attacker against enemy installations when fitted with two WG42 (Wurfgerät 42).
She has also a solid Firepower stat, making her a reliable daytime combatant with Artillery Spotting, but her Torpedo stat is lower than average, reducing her usefulness at night.
Her innate ASW stat is good, and the extra slots gives her an edge in the anti-submarine role, further increasing her versatility.
No further remodels have been implemented for her yet (as of December 2020).


Recommended Roles

  • Surface combat
  • Anti-installation
  • ASW

I'm the Town-class light cruiser HMS Sheffield. I'm classed as a light cruiser, but I'm as big and heavily armed as a heavy cruiser[1]. I participated in many battles, from escorting supply convoys to the Soviet Union in the Arctic to the pursuit of Bismarck. At the Battle of the Barents Sea, we defeated the German fleet and succeeded in our escort mission.

Trivia

  • She was given the nickname "Shiny Sheff" due to many of her fittings being made with stainless steel rather than the usual brass. She was also the first RN ship to be equipped with radar.

Historical info

  • Laid down on the 31st Jan 1935, launched 23rd July '36 and commissioned into the fleet 25th Aug 1937 Sheffield would have one of the most active and long lived career any RN cruiser.
  • Her first actions in the war were covering during the Norwegian campaign, before she was moved to the Mediterranean theatre. Here she took part in various operations, including the Battle of Cape Spartivento, convoy intercepts and shelling of Genoa.
  • She famously took part in the hunt for Bismarck, shadowing the ship to keep contact. During the hunt HMS Ark Royal's first attack wave of Swordfish torpedo bombers mistook HMS Sheffield for Bismarck and attacked her. Only faulty detonators on the torpedoes and fine ship handling saved her. It was Ark Royal's second wave (with different detonators) that crippled the Bismarck. Following this she helped to track and sink a couple of German naval supply ships.
  • She then swapped between various Med and Russia convoys operations, in which time she took part in the Battle of Barents Sea, where she engaged the Admiral Hipper and sunk Z16 *Friedrich Eckoldt. She also covered the Salerno landings.
  • Her final combat actions were assisting in the sinking of the Scharnhorst in Dec '43, and covering on carrier raids against the Tirptiz.
  • She was sent for a refit in America in preparation to be sent to the Far East, but the war ended before she was finished.
  • She went through various postwar refits, before finally being decommissioned in 1964. Attempts were made to save her, but Belfast was found to be in better condition, and so she was broken up in 1967.
