General information
The HMS Enterprise is a British light cruiser. It was introduced in Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea" as part of the British fleet closed beta test.
HMS Enterprise was the second of the so-called Emerald-class cruisers. Unlike her sister, the lead ship HMS Emerald, Enterprise was completed with a prototype twin 6-inch gun turret instead of two single 6-inch mounts. Designed during World War I for speed first and foremost, the two Emerald-class cruisers were still the fastest British cruisers in service at the outbreak of World War II, more than a decade after they were first commissioned.
