 '''Ammo racks'''
-On the bow section, is present an unsafe spot for the Grafton: the ammo racks. This area is filled with ready ammo racks near both turrets and just beneath it, a big stash of ammunition is located. This ammo storage is unprotected by any fuel tank or armour and is located above the waterline. Enemy ships will often target this zone with AP or HE with base fuze, because of how easy it is to hit it and detonate the main ammo rack.

 APCBC shells found on destroyers such as those on the Italian bluewater ships at rank I, can cause catastrophic damage to the ammo rack with some precise shooting. The elevator for the ammo can also be damaged during combat, hindering the reload rate of the main guns.

 '''Auxiliary Destroyer role'''
-With the great long-range gunnery abilities of the main cannons, the destroyer can be used to provide anti-air cover. The proximity fuze HE-VT Mk.VIIA is useful when the player is manually controlling the turrets as anti-air; the player can see how well- or bad, his shots are leading to the target. Players can also let the AI-controlled gunners fire, but a highly trained crew is required for the best efficiency.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} British destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea"]] as part of the British fleet closed beta test.
+The '''HMS Grafton (H89)''' is a member of the G-class destroyer family. She was constructed in the mid-1930s, when the HMS Grafton was stationed in Spanish waters from 1936 to 1939 to enforce the non-interventionist agreements reached by Britain and France during the Spanish Civil War. She was transferred from the Mediterranean Fleet to the UK for escort and contraband inspection duties after World War II began. When the Norwegian Campaign started in April 1940, the HMS Grafton was undergoing refit; after the work was finished, the HMS Grafton escorted convoys to Norway. In May, she rescued British troops from the bridgehead of Dunkirk; however, a German submarine sank her after she stopped to recover survivors from a destroyer.
-HMS Grafton, pennant number H89, part of the G-class, is a destroyer built for the Royal Navy during the 1930s. She had a relatively short, diverse and honourable operational history.
+Introduced in [[Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea"]], the HMS Grafton is equipped with heavy firepower for her size. However, she remains extremely vulnerable to most enemy destroyers. The HMS Grafton is most useful when employed as a quick-light support destroyer, evading enemy fire with its superior mobility. The HMS Grafton may be able to survive confrontation with other enemy destroyers thanks to her powerful main armament, but she will almost definitely come out of it severely damaged. Therefore, the best chances are to move or hide deep behind the enemy, attack first, and maintain the distance.

-HMS Grafton performs excellently in the destroyer vs. destroyer area, thanks to her 4 x 120 mm 4.7 inch/45 Mk.XII main guns. Her mobility is also remarkable, but the less appealing aspects are her lacklustre anti-air defences and the yet below-average crew size. The ship surely stands out from the other low-rank destroyers because of her entirely dark-grey hull, with a maroon red deck. Although, she can be found using the completely different camouflage scheme of HMS bulldog (under the different pennant number H91) in western approaches' white tone. The ship features a completely raked bow and a hull with a lot of freeboard, similar to the [[Tribal (Family)|Tribal class]] hull. Another way to differentiate her from other destroyers, is her four single turrets, two at the bow and two located in the stern.

 It should be played always on the move using the great mobility to keep her untouched, near allies or behind them.
