They remembered of the old Split and decided to raise and finish her. In 1950, Yugoslavia was free again and lacked warships. The Germans, however, never even tryied to finish her and when they ended up retreated, they scuttled her. Therefore, the still incomplete Spalato was seized by the Germans. Although work started, it wasn't finished yet in 1943 when Italy surrendered. The italians decided that they may complete Split (renamed Spalato) with their own equipment, and thus they redisigned her. The thing is, the ship was only 50% completed when the war broke out, and soon enough, Italians had invaded Yugoslavia and seized the ship. The comapgny choosen to draw her design was a French one, and based the hull on the French Le Fantasque class however, the Yugoslavs had the ship built by Yarrow on their soil, with components from a wide variety of nations (the guns were from Czechoslovakia, the Turbines and the Boilers were British, she was equipped with Sweden Bofors and had a French fire-control system. The goal was to increase their destroyer force because the others were weaker and older therefore, instead of choosing to build several weak destroyers, they opted for a single Destroyer Leader. Split was a Destroyer Leader, alone in her class, from Yugoslavia. I'll stay brief here because this isn't an historical article. You probably haven't read my Forgotten Legends article where I talk about her (mainly because they're only available in French for now) but Split isn't the most unknwon DD of Europe and I've seen her mentionned a few time around here, namely in the European Destroyer Tree topic. I'll be exposing the stats I chose and I'll be awaiting your opinions regarding her, if she'd be OP or too weak, if she'd be interesting to buy, and so on.Īnyway, let's start ! Direction : Yugoslavia ! Therefore, I selected a destroyer today, Split (but you already knew that provided you read the title before clicking, otherwise you clicked on a random topic which is kinda weird, but I won't discuss that matter here because this bracket is strating to get way too wide), and I tryied giving her stats and a gameplay which would make her interesting to buy and to play. This time though, I wanted to try something different and make my own premium ship. I make techtrees of them, historical articles, drawings, and even songs.
