King George V class battleships with all the added AAA, I'd wager its KGV herself after deployment to the Pacific in 1945.
Looks quite different than the first KGV class battleships (The ones built in 1912).

I believe DoY was like her two laters sisters in being completed with additional splinter protection that was installed after the 15in submarining shell hit PoW in Denmark Strait.

No, it is indeed DoY, August 1945.

In '42-early 45 they were camoed, but in deployment to the PTO they were painted like their US counterparts, usually battleship or haze grey and navy blue in a non camo pattern.

The KGVs had the shallowest TDS of any modern battleship.

Hope the campaign will be dynamic, like it was in good ol' Aces of The Deep or Silent Service 1&2 (war patrols etc.) . The way they did campaign in SH2 was a real crap, as I couldn't get further in the game without finishing mission when I had to shadow Allied convoy enroute to England, which I couldn't get past for unknown reason...

Earlier last year they were gonna do a basic SH2 repeat campaign, and thanks to the lobbying of Subsim.com Ubi postponed it to create an entirely new, dynamic campaign. I hated SH2's campaign with a passion.

The campaign mode in SH2 was complete crap, like every campaign mode today in games.[:@]
I can not understand that since Falcon 4, which had a very good dynamical environment, these scripted-style missions began to take overhand. Look at Lock on, good game...but simply no motivation to play it longer.[:@]
From submarine games, the best one in my eyes was Silent Hunter 1.[&o]
