ORIGINAL: warspite1 Clue no.5. Last clue. Which warship am I? 1. I do not have a counter in WIF or any of its add ons, however, you could easily make the case for including one (I am bigger than a destroyer). 2. If ADG did give me a counter, I would be likely to start 1939 scenarios in the construction pool; for the same reason as USS Wyoming. Alternatively I could start on map - but would have suitably reduced factors..... 3. During my life I changed not only my name (once) but also my ship type (a number of times). 4. I am a Royal Navy vessel. 5. I was used extensively off Narvik, Norway April - June 1940, after which I was largely used in backwater theatres. I survived the war, unlike one of my three original sisters (all of whom have a WIF Counter) - a fourth ship of my original class was lost during the inter-war years. It seems it's one of the Monitors. Roberts? WiF has a Roberts II. Warspite1 I'm not a monitor. I'm feeling generous so here is one final absolute giveaway clue. 1.

I was designed as a cruiser, but unlike my four sisters, was not completed as originally designed. The reason that "treaty" or "heavy" cruiser specification was set at the level it was at the Washington Treaty 1922, was due to the size of my sisters.
