General information

The HMAS Nepal (G25) is a member of the N-class destroyer family. Initially commissioned as HMAS Norseman in 1941, she was renamed HMAS Nepal during repairs in recognition of Nepal's role in the UK's war effort during World War II. She had sustained significant damage during an air raid on the shipyard owned by John I. Thornycroft and Company. Despite being put into service as the HMAS in 1942, the ship continued to be a part of the larger organization that was commanded by the UK. The HMAS Nepal served in the Indian Ocean for the majority of its wartime tenure as a vessel in the British Eastern Fleet. The HMAS Nepal was transferred to the British Pacific Fleet at the beginning of 1945 and served with them for the rest of the war. The HMAS Nepal was decommissioned upon her return to Sydney in October 1945, and upon her return to the UK, she was recommissioned as HMS Nepal. She was scrapped in 1956.

Introduced in Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea", the HMAS Nepal and the HMS Eskimo have nearly the same auxiliary batteries and main armament. The HMAS Nepal has more torpedoes, a more potent anti-aircraft battery, and a faster top speed than the HMS Eskimo, but she lacks the latter vessel's strong secondary battery and larger crew. This enables the HMAS Nepal to be a multipurpose vessel while retaining the HMS Eskimo's potent long-range engagement ability.
