-The '''HMS Verdun (L93)''' is a member of the Admiralty V-class destroyer family. She is the only destroyer in the British navy to be named Verdun, after the Battle of Verdun, and is among the oldest destroyers to have served in both World Wars I and II. The HMS Verdun, which was launched on August 21, 1917, at the Hawthorn Leslie shipyard in Hebburn, Tyneside, was finished in November of the same year. She was a member of the Harwich Force and the Grand Fleet. On November 8, 1920, she was tasked with returning The Unknown Warrior's remains to Britain. In May 1940, the HMS Verdun's pennant number was changed from D93 to L93 after it was decided to modify her into an anti-aircraft escort destroyer. On November 1, 1940, a bomb damaged the HMS Verdun while she was serving as a convoy escort out of Rosyth and in the North Sea, killing 11 men, including her captain. After being fixed at Harwich, she escorted convoys along the east coast for the remainder of the war. Following VE Day, the HMS Verdun was placed into reserve before being sold in April 1946 to be scrapped at Granton, Edinburgh.
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium rank {{Specs|rank}} British destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]].
