HMS Liverpool (C11) was the sixth of ten Town-class light cruisers of the Gloucester subclass. Laid down on 17 February 1936 at Fairfield Shipyard in Govan and commissioned on 2 November 1938, Liverpool primarily served as a convoy escort during World War II, during which she was severely damaged by torpedo attacks from Italian SM.79 bombers on two separate occasions. The first occurred on 14 October 1941, crippling her bow section. After repair, Liverpool was assigned to escort the Soviet and later Maltese convoys when she was once again torpedoed by the Italian bombers on 14 June 1942, this time crippling her engine and disabling Liverpool for the rest of the war. After extensive repairs between 1943 and 1945, Liverpool’s X turret and aircraft catapults were removed to make room for additional anti-aircraft defences. After being deployed to quell unrests on the then British-French-controlled Suez Canal in 1952, Liverpool was decommissioned and scrapped in 1958 at Bo'ness, Scotland.

HMS Liverpool was introduced in Update 2.7 "Red Skies". As she is in her final configuration of 1952, with her X turret removed in favour of more anti-aircraft defences, Liverpool is somewhat of a downgrade compared to her sister ships in terms of firepower. Still, the nine 6-inch guns provide sufficient firepower to deal with most ships at close range, and the increased AA guns will keep most aircraft and PT boats at bay. Nevertheless, Liverpool still shares the same weaknesses as her sister ship, namely the lack of AP shells for long-range engagements, as well as her exposed deck crew compartments.
