Eight 34-knot battleships mark the fleet's transition

Eight new 34-knot battleships with nine 15-inch guns apiece are nearing commission as the campaign moves beyond its battlecruiser-led force.

Notes

Eight new battleships are three months from commissioning in the campaign. Each can make 34 knots and carries nine 15-inch guns, a heavy 6-inch battery, and a decent amount of armour. The combination completes the campaign's move toward fast battleships. Because all eight arrive together, one building cycle changes the fleet's capabilities and balance.
