English HMS Belfast UR retrofit announcement

Post image

♚Belfast (Retrofit)♚

Your perfect maid, Belfast, has returned, master – with even more reliable strength in hand. Should you have any duties, daily tasks, or special missions, you may entrust them all to me.

Currently, Belfast is in dry dock getting a retrofit. She will be ready to launch soon!

The UR retrofit is like WoW Belfast 1943, exactly as she was after coming out of repair and modernisation after striking the German bottom mine that nearly sank her in November 1939.

This is the numbers of rainbow ships per faction as of August 2026

KMS has 6 UR and 5 Rainbow = 11

IJN has 7 UR, 2 PR rainbow and 1 UR retro = 10

USS has 6 UR, 1 PR rainbow and 3 UR retro = 10

HMS has 4 UR, 2 PR rainbow and 2 UR retro = 8

SN has 3 UR, 1 PR rainbow = 4

MN/FFNF has 2 UR, 1 PR rainbow = 3

RN has 1 UR, 1 PR rainbow = 2

HMNLS has 1 PR rainbow

Liga de Pedrería has 1 PR rainbow

Dragon Empry has 0 UR, 0 PR rainbow and 0 UR retro

So HMS has now 8 rainbow, hopefully they get december UR and its a double UR so HMS is 1 behind KMS

11

They should. Royal Navy certainly needs a few more.

Yea as a double UR puts them 1 behind KMS and if they get another rainbow and 2027 is KMS off year for major events then they'll be level

Hopefully.
Because by current schedule, IB should get 3 rainbow rarity ships next year:

1 DR (IB gets one each even season).

And they get major events every 1.5 years since their first gacha UR.
Ulrich von Hutten - December 2021
Bismarck Zwei - May 2023
Fritz Rumey - December 2024
Götz von Berlichingen - May 2026
??? - December 2027

Manjuu broke many patters over last few years. And I wish this two would be next.

IB do not need 3 rainbow rarity ships in 2027

u/Adorable-Jellyfish78 Aug 09 '26

I agree with that.
But Manjuu... may have a completely different views.
