World of Warships – Premium Ship list

Introduction

I have provided a list of all the premium ships that I’m aware of and sorted them by nations ingame. 
You can visit the wiki pages and I hope to have a video link to give players an idea what’s so special about that particular ship. 

Are premium ships pay-to-win?

Not really, most premium ships are either replicas of existing ships with skins or if any quirks have been added then they are typically weakened and placed down a tier. 
Example. The Atlanta has little armour and is short range, but it can fire high over islands; with it struggling in open water without cover.

Why can’t I see some of these ships ingame?

Some ships are limited by timed events when they are on the store, missions or promotional events. In addition some ships may be listed in upcoming patches but may not be in the current version. 
I am only using information which is already listed publicly online and I’m not interested in adding Beta ships – only ships confirmed by Wargaming.

Ship price not listed?

I’m not going to list any real currency on here; this includes doubloons – so if there’s nothing listed then you can assume its either been listed on the store, ingame tech tree or some mission. I’ve only listed Armory prices as it doesn’t use real world currency and can be earned ingame if you play long enough.

I’ve found a ship not on this list

I can update this guide – 
Post a comment in this guide with its details (name, tier, type, nation) and a source (link) so we can confirm that it is not simply a rumour ship which may not have been added to the game.

Anime Ships

Anime ships are limited time ships where you can only acquire them when Wargaming has access to the respective IPs. Once the license expires for each of these IPs then you can no longer obtain them; however they will not be removed if you’ve already got them. 
 
Typically most of these are obtained during ‘Personal Combat Missions’ with an opt-in found in the ingame News section; however some can only be bought from the ingame store. 
 

Arpeggio

Arpeggio ships count as ‘Japan’ ship. Their hulls glow, they have anime effects ingame. They are just reskins of other ships and don’t possess any advantage of their counterparts.
