-The '''HMS Mohawk (L31)''' is a member of the Tribal-class destroyer family. The HMS Mohawk was completed in 1938 for the British Navy shortly before the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and was initially assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet. She was briefly involved in enforcing the arms blockade on the combatants in the Spanish Civil War in early 1939. The HMS Mohawk returned home shortly after World War II began and was assigned convoy escort duties, during which she was damaged by a German air raid. She escorted convoys to and from Norway during the Norwegian Campaign from April to May 1940. In June, the HMS Mohawk was assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet's 14th Destroyer Flotilla and began escorting convoys to Malta and Greece. Mohawk fought in the Battle of Calabria in July and the Battle of Cape Matapan in March 1941. The following month, as the 14th Destroyer Flotilla attacked an Italian convoy, she was sunk by torpedoes fired by an Italian destroyer, killing 41 of her crew.
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium gift rank {{Specs|rank}} British destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced during [[Update "Direct Hit"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/7350-event-export-order-en|2021 Export Order]] event.
-Introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]], the HMS Mohawk is a fast destroyer with powerful main armaments mounted in the bow. The main armament is extremely accurate and capable of hitting targets as far away as 10 kilometers. The crew size is slightly above average, which is typical of Tribal-class destroyers but unusual for many other British Navy vessels. The HMS Mohawk, as one of the fastest destroyers with superior secondary armament and a high sustained rate of fire, should be used to engage light coastal craft as its primary goal. Maintain the HMS Mohawk near the coast and use her to protect allied coastal vessels as they capture objectives. Be wary of engaging other destroyers, as the ammunition magazines are easily detonated due to their proximity to the waterline and lack of armour protection.
+A Tribal-class destroyer, HMS Mohawk is unique in that it carries a fourth main turret, allowing for increased firepower over its sisters, in exchange, it has a smaller AA battery.

 <!-- ''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.'' -->
-{{NavalMobility}}
+Mohawk's mobility should be deemed adequate but not perfect. The Tribal-class was repurposed as fleet destroyers, and as such, the mobility performs fine enough to attend to the needs of flexible anti-air support for cruisers fleets, or while performing a flanking attack throughout naval engagements. The Tribal-class was fitted with three Admiralty three-drum boilers that powered two Parsons geared turbines generating 34,000 hp which translates into 67 km/h, reached in about 28 seconds.
 The top speed is averagely on par or in few cases inferior against most German destroyers at ranks II and III. Thus it is likely no real mobility advantage can be played over German counterparts. Versus similarly ranked Japanese or Italian destroyers, the opposite occurs. Though minimal in some instances, the Mohawk might have the upper hand in catching up with enemy destroyers such as [[IJN Yuudachi]], [[IJN Kiyoshimo]] and [[IJN Ayanami]].
 Do not forget about some other destroyers as the Japanese [[IJN Shimakaze]] and the Soviet [[Tashkent]] and [[Moskva]]: these feature outstanding top speed over 80 km/h. Therefore, it is crucial to quickly assess these mobility disparities when gunnery is leading a deadly salvo on such swift enemies.
