Having premiered during the Longest Night of Museums livestream, this documentary film produced by World of Warships in collaboration with veterans’ charity FORCE BLUE lets you tag along with four Navy SEAL veterans to the beaches of Normandy, where the principles of U.S. naval special warfare were forged in fire.




We at World of Warships would like to extend our gratitude to our partners, without whom this important project would have been far out of reach.

FORCE BLUE
Established as a nonprofit organization in 2016, FORCE BLUE seeks to address two seemingly unrelated problems—the rapidly declining health of our planet’s marine resources and the difficulty that returning combat veterans have in adjusting to civilian life—through one, mission-focused program.

National Navy SEAL museum
The National Navy SEAL Museum is the only museum dedicated solely to preserving the history of the United States Navy SEALs and their predecessors. Located in Fort Pierce, Florida, the museum resides on the training grounds of the original navy combat divers, the frogmen.

This week, you can participate in an exclusive weekly community mission for Steam players and win interesting prizes.

EU NA ASIA

• Fixed a bug which caused equipping a second flag to not work as intended for American aircraft carriers.
  
• Fixed a visual bug with the ship preview option in the Armory.
  
• Fixed a bug which sometimes prevented players from changing the volume of the in-game music when in battle.
  
• Fixed several other small issues.
  
  IMPORTANT! This update is still being tested. The information in this article is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live.
  
  
  Mode Shuffle
  
  The highlight of the current test is the Mode Shuffle, a new temporary battle type that places you into one of three game modes:
  
  
  • Airship Escort: Help your team's airship reach the finish line first by escorting it and hindering the enemy airship's progress.
    
    
  • Convoy: Enter the battle as either a raider or defender as a flotilla of AI transport ships push forward to reach their destination across the map.
    
    
  • Arms Race: The battlefield is littered with buffs for your team. Be the first to claim them and leverage your advantage to defeat the enemy team!
    
  New French Destroyers Line
  
  A new branch of French Destroyers from Tiers V–X will be entering Early Access soon! Introducing L'Adroit, Duchaffault, Le Hardi, L'Aventurier, Orage, and Cassard.
  
  
  
  
  
  This line features powerful torpedoes with high damage, speed, and a long range. Starting with Le Hardi, these torpedoes will deal considerable damage at close range, but decrease in power the farther they travel.
  
  Note: These ships will not be available during the Public Test.
  
  
  
  Support Consumables in Brawls
  
  In Update 13.6, you will be able to participate in three Brawls, featuring a twist to make battles even more engaging.
  
  Support consumables will boost your team's effectiveness in battle. You may remember them from the Piñata Hunt event or 25th season of Clan Battles, but this time, the rules have changed: only specific support consumables will be available in each format.

Captain!

We've already unveiled the new Dockyard with battleship X WISCONSIN, but what if we told you that besides constructing the virtual ship, you can also contribute to restoring her in real life?

Two DLC packs with Stars 'n' Stripes permanent camouflages are now available in the World of Warships Store. By purchasing them, you'll be supporting the restoration of the second main battery turret of iconic battleship USS Wisconsin!

The DLC will be available until July 9, 2024.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3053350/World_of_Warships__Wisconsin_Turret_Restoration_Pack/

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3053360/World_of_Warships__Wisconsin_Turret_Restoration_Mega_Pack/



USS Wisconsin is one of a few legendary U.S. Navy battleships. She served for almost half a century and is currently part of the museum exhibition at Nauticus in Norfolk, Virginia.
This April, the battleship celebrates her 80th anniversary since her commissioning. On this occasion, together with the Nauticus Foundation, we're launching a charity fundraiser for the restoration of the battleship's second main battery turret.

Purchase one of the Wisconsin Turret Restoration DLC packs. 100% of the proceeds*, raised from the sale of this DLC will be transferred to the Nauticus Foundation for the restoration process.

The campaign runs until July 9, 2024, at which point, sales of the DLC will cease.
Our goal is to raise US$50,000. This amount is sufficient for the restoration of the turret. If the campaign is successful, restoration work will begin on the turret to turn it into a new museum exhibit, open to visitors of USS Wisconsin.

Update 13.5 will see the bulk of our D-Day event play out, with two separate themed PvE Operations, each lasting two weeks.

• Atlantic Wall Defense: During the first two weeks of the Update, you can take command of German Tier V-VII destroyers to lead the defense of the Normandy beaches from the Allied invasion fleet. Protect the coast and lay minefields to buy precious time for the arrival of reinforcements.
  
• Omaha Beach Assault: Take the reins of an Allied warship on a mission to save stranded ships and clear a path to the legendary Omaha beach for your fleet.

Classified Documents are available in all the D-Day Operations, and you can select which ones to bring into battle with you to gain additional combat bonuses against specific enemy types.

A new section of the dedicated reward track unlocks at the start of each Operation. Complete secondary tasks to progress along the track and earn valuable rewards, including permanent camouflages for Baltimore and Jervis and British Commander William Tennant. If you continue earning Stars and unlocking extra levels, you'll earn 1x D-Day container for each level.
