4!Commonwealth
5The Navies of the Commonwealth of Nations[[note]]Oddly not including the existing British Royal Navy ships, even though Britain itself ''is'' a member of the Commonwealth.[[/note]] are the ninth faction to be introduced, with the first ship being the tier 6 premium cruiser ''Perth''. A full line of cruisers debuted in March 2024 as early access ships in the 13.2 update. They will become available on the tech tree in the 13.4 update.

7[[folder: Commonwealth Cruisers]]
8Commonwealth cruisers are generally comparable to their counterparts on the British tech tree, though there are a few differences. Most notably, the light cruisers of the line have access to HE shells, giving them the firestarting capability that the British light cruisers lack. They also have access to the Defensive AA Fire, Submarine Surveillance, and Crawling Smoke Generator consumables, making them better at antiaircraft work, sub-hunting, and evasion. On the other hand, they have the same thin armor as the British cruisers and don't get access to Repair Party until Tier VIII, making them more fragile.

10! Sutlej
11Commonwealth (Indian) Tier I Cruiser
12
13A ''Black Swan''-class sloop built for the Royal Indian Navy. She was laid down in 1939 and commissioned in 1941. ''Sutlej'' saw extensive service as a convoy escort and assault ship in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indian Oceans during WWII. When India gained independence in 1947, she became INS ''Sutlej'' and served until 1978, when she was decommissioned and sold for scrap.
14
15! Port Jackson
16Commonwealth Tier II Cruiser
17
18A representative of the ''Town''-class cruisers built for the British and Australian Navies in the early 1910s.
19
20* FictionalCounterpart: No ship named ''Port Jackson'' was ever built. She's probably most comparable to HMAS ''Sydney'', a ''Town''-class that served with distinction in WWI.
21
22! Caradoc
23Commonwealth Tier III Cruiser
24
25A C-class cruiser of the ''Caledon'' subclass. ''Caradoc'' was laid down in 1916 and commissioned the following year. She fought in the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight and escorted the High Seas Fleet to Scapa Flow after the German surrender. She spent the next two years supporting anti-Bolshevik/Soviet forces in the Baltic and Crimea before transferring to the Mediterranean. She served in the Caribbean and China stations before being placed in reserve in 1934. Upon the outbreak of WWII, she was reactivated and used to transport gold bullion and hunt down German blockade runners. Now old and superannuated, she was converted to a gunnery training ship in 1944 and sent to Ceylon. She was placed in reserve after the end of the war and broken up in 1946.
26
27! Dunedin
28Commonwealth Tier IV Cruiser
29
30A ''Danae''-class light cruiser, ''Dunedin'' was laid down in 1917 and commissioned in 1919. She spent the interwar period on overseas stations, defending British interests and providing disaster relief. When WWII broke out, she participated in the hunt for ''Scharnhorst'' and ''Gneisenau'', then was transferred to the Caribbean to interdict German and Vichy merchant shipping in the region. She captured five ships and scored a coup by seizing the Enigma machines from the tanker ''Lothringen''. She was sunk on 24 November 1941 by ''U-124'', with the loss of most of her crew.
31
32! Delhi
33Commonwealth (Indian) Tier V Cruiser
34
35A ''Leander''-class cruiser originally laid down in 1931 as HMS ''Achilles''. She was commissioned in 1933, then transferred to the Royal Navy's New Zealand Division in 1936 and officially recommissioned as HMNZS ''Achilles'' with the reformation of the NZD into the Royal New Zealand Navy in 1941. She was sent to patrol the coast of South America, and was one of the three ships that battled the German pocket battleship ''Graf Spee'' and successfully bottled her up in Montevideo. After ''Graf Spee'' was scuttled, ''Achilles'' returned to New Zealand and escorted convoys in the Pacific. She was damaged during the Solomons campaign when a Japanese bomb tore off the roof of one of her turrets. After undergoing repairs and modernization in England, she rejoined the New Zealand fleet. Postwar, she was sold to India, becoming INS ''Delhi''. She spent most of her career showing the flag in foreign ports, though she briefly participated in the Portuguese-Indian War of 1961. She was decommissioned and sold for scrap in 1978.
36
37* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: She has a special permanent camouflage called "Indian Tiger" that drenches her in the colors of the Indian flag.
38
39! Hobart
40Commonwealth (Australian) Tier VI Cruiser
41
42''Hobart'' was one of three improved ''Leander''-class cruisers ordered by the Royal Navy in the 1930s.[[note]]The original ''Leander''s had all their boilers in a single compartment, which made them more vulnerable to being knocked out by a single hit amidships. The improved ships dispersed the machinery into multiple compartments for greater survivability.[[/note]]She was laid down in 1933 and commissioned as HMS ''Apollo'' in 1936. She and her two sisters were sold to Australia in 1938, and she was recommissioned as HMAS ''Hobart''. Upon the outbreak of war, she was sent to the Indian Ocean, where she saw action in the Red Sea and oversaw the evacuation of British Somaliland. After a stint in the Mediterranean, she returned to the Pacific and served as a convoy escort, then screened Port Moresby during the Battle of the Coral Sea and provided fire support for the invasion of Guadalcanal. She was badly damaged by a torpedo from the submarine ''I-11'' on 20 July 1943 and limped to Sydney for repairs, which kept her out of the fight until April 1945. She participated in the invasion of Borneo and was present for the Japanese surrender. She was decommissioned in 1947 and sent to the reserves. Several attempts were made to modernize her, but were all deemed cost-ineffective, and she was ultimately sold for scrap in 1962.
43
44! Uganda
45Commonwealth (Canadian) Tier VII Cruiser
46
47A ''Fiji''-class light cruiser laid down in 1939 and commissioned in 1943. After shakedown, she escorted convoys and provided fire support in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, including escorting Winston Churchill to a conference in the US and bombarding targets in Sicily and Italy. She was hit by a 1.4 tonne Fritz X glide bomb off Salerno that punched clean through her entire hull and detonated beneath her keel. She survived, but was was damaged so severely that she had to be taken to America for repairs. While being repaired, she was transferred to Canadian control and recommissioned as HMCS ''Uganda''. She was sent to the Pacific as flagship of the RCN and provided antiaircraft and shore bombardment support for the British fleet there. In April 1945, she was the subject of an embarrassing incident when two-thirds of her crew refused to volunteer for continued service in the theater.[[note]]The Canadian government had decided to ask all sailors and soldiers going to the Pacific to re-volunteer for service; anyone who re-upped would be granted a month's leave before going. The policy was applied to ''Uganda'''s crew as well, and they voted no due to discontentment with poor living conditions on the cruiser and a feeling that they had volunteered to fight Germany, not Japan.[[/note]]. Due to delays in finding a replacement ship, she wasn't sent home until late July and arrived in port on the day that the Japanese announced their surrender. She was paid off in 1947, then recommissioned as HMCS ''Quebec'' on 1952 upon Canada's entry into the Korean War. She saw no combat during the war and was paid off again in 1956, then sold for scrap in 1960.
48
49! Auckland
50Commonwealth (New Zealand) Tier VIII Cruiser
51
52The beginning of the paper ships in this line. ''Auckland'' is based on a proposed design of heavy cruiser with nine 203mm guns. The Royal Navy commissioned studies of this project at the beginning of WWII, but ultimately canceled the project in favor of building more light cruisers.
53
54! Encounter
55Commonwealth (Australian) Tier IX Cruiser
56
57''Encounter'' is the representative of a cruiser project with 203mm guns that was proposed to be built in Australia during the 1920s. She is partly based on the ''Hawkins''-class, though with significant upgrades to armor and weaponry.
58
59! Cerberus
60Commonwealth (Australian) Tier X Cruiser
61
62A theoretical evolution of the ''Encounter'' project, featuring an extra turret with improved reload time.
63* CompositeCharacter: ''Cerberus'' is a cross between the real-life ''County''-class heavy cruisers and a theoretical Australian cruiser project.
64* MoreDakka: 12 203mm guns with a 5.7 second reload time.
65* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: She's named after the three-headed hound that guards the gates of the underworld in Greek mythology.
66[[/folder]]
67[[folder:Commonwealth Premium Destroyers]]
68!Vampire
69Commonwealth (Australian) Tier 3 premium destroyer.
70!Haida
71Commonwealth (Canadian) Tier 7 premium destroyer. Preserved as a museum ship, she is the only surviving Tribal-class destroyer today.
72[[/folder]]
73[[folder:Commonwealth Premium Cruisers]]
74!Perth
75Commonwealth (Australian) Tier 6 premium cruiser.
76* StealthExpert: Her smoke generator allows her to form a moving (albeit slowly) smoke screen on top of her already excellent stealth. She can even have the duration of her smoke screen functionally boosted which is unique to her.
77* GlassCannon: Packs a punch with its HE rounds. The large citadel, low hitpoints and flimsy armor also ensures that whatever hits it is going to severely damage if not outright sink the ship.
78* SquishyWizard: Has plenty of useful consumables including the unique smokescreen, but will die quickly if attacked.
79[[/folder]]
80
81[[folder: Commonwealth Premium Battleships]]
82!Yukon
83Commonwealth (Canadian) Tier VII premium battleship
84
85A draft design for the ''King George V''-class battleships, armed with 381mm guns.
86[[/folder]]
87
88!Otherworld Fleet
89Ships for the Halloween event which was first started in October 2016 and expanded annually with new additions.
90
91[[folder:Halloween 2016]]
92!Transylvania
93An unarmed transport ship carrying Halloween treats.
94
95* EscortMission: The ''Transylvania'' can't reach the portal without an escort and will end the mission in failure if sunk.
96
97!Blade
98
99!Igor
100
101!Jackal
102
103!Zikasa
104
105!Rasputin
106
107A heavily buffed version of the ''Imperator Nikolai I'' that appears in many of the Halloween scenarios.
108* ArcVillain: ''Rasputin'' appears in nearly all of the Halloween scenarios, and killing it permanently is the focus of the "Terror of the Deep" operation. It returns, with a twin, in "Last Voyage of ''Transylvania''".
109* DamageSpongeBoss: In the "Last Voyage of ''Transylvania''" event, it has 100,000 HP, can heal while in the Filth, and has significant buffs to its armor and torpedo protection. Oh, and there's two of them.
110* PromotedToPlayable: ''Rasputin'' became available for purchase in ''World of Warships: Legends'' as a Tier V premium ship.
111* SicklyGreenGlow: It emits a neon green glow from all over its hull.
112* SkeletonMotif: Its bow is shaped like a giant skull.
113
114[[/folder]]
115
116[[folder:Halloween 2017]]
117
118!Urashima
119
120!Ghoul
121
122!Svyatozar
123
124!Scarab
125
126!Magnu-S
127
128!Varg
129
130!Nobilium
131
132!Great Gorgon
133
134[[/folder]]
135
136[[folder:Halloween 2018]]
137
138!Barracuda
139* LightningBruiser: A strong performer for every situation. Barracuda is fast, heavily armed, heavily armored, and has a long oxygen reserve. The two double-gun turrets are good for fending off destroyers and finishing off critically damaged ships. Barracuda's glaring weakness is a 6300m detection radius.
140
141!Seelöwe (Sealion)
142
143!Zipper
144* GlassCannon: Zipper is a Coastal Defense Sub that is supposedly good at reconnaissance, infiltration, and fast attacks. But its short oxygen reserve and top speed of 24 knots means that it's not even remotely good at doing so. Also, the ship only has two torpedo tubes with a long reload but this is compensated for with a high alpha damage value. Unsurprisingly, the hull strength is the weakest and will crumple easily with a heavy hit.
145* WeaksauceWeakness: Zipper has the best maneuverability with a 1.7sec rudder shift but only because the sub is incredibly bad at retaining speed. Even when surfacing or making a minute course adjustment, it hemorrhages speed like crazy and can get itself left behind very easily.
146
147!Gerfalcon
148* LightningBruiser: Completely outclasses the Zipper in Mobility and Attack. However, the Barracuda and Seelöwe are better suited to attacking than the Gerfalcon.
149
150!Killer Whale
151* LightningBruiser: Easily the best overall submarine. It has high top speed, good hull strength, long oxygen reserve, ten torpedo tubes all of which have high alpha damage, and a better stealth rating.
152
