Description

The Battle-class, HMS Cadiz (D79), 1951 is a premium gift rank III British destroyer with a battle rating of 4.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update "Wind of Change" as a reward for Battle Pass: Season VII, "Armoured Elephant".

A Battle-class destroyer, HMS Cadiz is very similar to its Australian sister HMAS Tobruk. It has only 4 forward-mounted main guns that have a high rate of fire and can rotate 360°, a large AA battery of effective 40 mm guns, and 10 torpedoes that have somewhat awkward launch angles. Unfortunately, like other members of its class, it suffers from having a very easy to hit ammo rack, right under the main turrets.

General info

Survivability and armour

Armourfront / side / back
Main fire tower13 / 13 / 13 mm

Crew268 people

Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

Mobility

Speedforward / back
AB81 / 31 km/h

Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Guns have a high rate of fire
  • Main guns have access to an HE-VT round
  • Main guns can rotate 360°
  • Large and strong anti-aircraft battery of 14 40 mm guns

Cons:

  • Very easy to hit ammo rack under the main guns
  • Only forward-mounted guns mean that it is vulnerable to flanking

History

Devblog

The destroyer HMS Cadiz (D79) was laid down at the Scottish shipyard of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in 1944, but was commissioned after the end of the war, in April 1946. The ship was assigned to the Home Fleet and participated in diplomatic cruises, exercises, and also in the Coronation Review (1953) to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In 1956, the destroyer was sold to the Pakistan Navy. Before being sent to a new home port, the ship was modernised and refitted, and received a new name - PNS Khaibar. In 1971, during the Indo-Pakistani War, the destroyer Khaibar was sunk as a result of two hits by Soviet-made P-15 Termit anti-ship missiles launched by the Indian missile boat Nirghat. This was the first effective use of missiles of this class by the Indian navy.
