HMS Verdun is a British V-class destroyer. She was laid down on January 13, 1917. Launched on August 21, 1917 and was commissioned on November 3 of that year. She participated in the final stages of World War I and was modernized in 1939, when she received new 102 mm dual-purpose main guns. During World War II, she primarily served as an escort vessel. On November 1, 1940, while escorting a northern convoy, Verdun was hit by an aerial bomb. The attack resulted in the deaths of eleven crew members, including the captain. After repairs in Harwich, she continued escorting northern convoys until the war's end. Following Germany’s surrender, the Verdun was placed in reserve and scrapped in the spring of 1946.

HMS Verdun was introduced in Update 2.9 "Direct Hit". The in-game ship reflects her post-modernization configuration and boasts some anti-aircraft capabilities, high speed, and rapid-firing main guns for an early destroyer. However, her turret rotation speed is relatively low.
