Ships here are divided into four categories as of the current patch: destroyers (DD), cruisers (CA/CL), battleships (BB), and aircraft carriers (CV/CVL). They range from mass-produced ships like the Fletcher-class destroyer or Cleveland-class cruiser, to single prototypes like the ''Taiho'' or ''Shimakaze'', or even Rare Vehicles that only made it into blueprint stage.
Here, you start out with warships from the pre- World War I era up until the post- World War II-era, with a few early 20th century ships here and there. note Or, Cool Boat: The Game if you think about it. This game is essentially Cool Boat incarnate.
Announced in 2014, the game went through a closed beta and open beta through much of 2015, with its formal official launching on September 17, 2015 World of Warships is a Naval Combat Simulator from Wargaming.Net (the same company behind World of Tanks and World of Warplanes).
