Naval Legends: Aurora | World of Warships

📖 Historical ships in the game 👉 wo.ws/3kAwWlZ
🔔 / @worldofwarshipsoffici...
To walk the decks of the cruiser Aurora is to know Russian history. Named for the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora made an epic transoceanic voyage and fought in the disastrous Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War, covering the Russian retreat and surviving to return home. She later served in World War I and fired the first (blank) shot to mark the assault on the Winter Palace at the start of the October Revolution. During World War II, her crew demounted her guns and deployed them in the hard-fought Siege of Leningrad.
Naval Legends is a series about the construction, service, and daring deeds of legendary 20th-century ships.

Wow . . . A beautiful ship with a truly rich and amazing history. Possibly the most incredible story not just of a Russian ship, but any ship. The fact that this ship is preserved and well cared for to this day is a gift and an example. Yes, warships are built to kill and destroy, and we shouldn't forget that, but they are also so much more.

[@_b_x_b_1063]

In the USSR, the Aurora was rebuilt in the 1980s, where half of the ship is new.

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

Aurora's crew survived Tsushima because they were already accustomed to being shot at, after numerous friendly fire incidents while making the journey to Vladivostok from the Bearing Sea. The Voyage of the Damned is a good read.

[@mybugatti100]

Not that I'm complaining but we need a naval legend on Bismarck. It's doable

[@RISINGWOLFMOON]

mybugatti100 yes, if Yamato got an episode the Bismarck deserves one

[@outwardpanicjoe8950]

mybugatti100 true I would like to see one on the enterprise

[@mybugatti100]

Well, they got Iowa and New Jersey done so I think they'll do any ship, just the ones that brings them more profit

[@ledshot5230]

Or H.M.S Hood and maybe her being available in game.

[@WalkingCrap]

Thing is, they tend to do these Naval Legends episodes on ships that actually survived as museum ships, hence the amount of US ships in this series, the only exception being the Yamato. The Yamato however was filmed with a massive 1:10 scale model, I'm not aware of anything similar existing for the Bismarck. So it's not about profit, it's the chosen format for this series that kinda limits it.

[@RISINGWOLFMOON]

This is such an interesting series! I love watching stuff about military history, especially WWI & WWII. I mainly study tanks and all around general knowledge, but these help me learn about a subject I don't know much about. The mighty ships of war and the navy's that used them.

[@DaGoodmanYT]

I wonder if they could do USS Laffey DD-724. In a japanese aerial attack the Laffey took 6 kamikazies and 4 bombs (or was it 4 kamikazies and 6 bombs) and remained afloat. She is now at patriots point where USS Yorktown CV-10 is also anchored. They did a naval legends on Yorktown once.

I suppose Aurora will be a quest reward for Christmas and that's why she's being profiled?

[@Rumirumi_]

I doubt it. Tier III cruiser Oleg which is tested atm seems like a more appropriate choice. Giving away a premium ship that is in the premium shop would be a dick move towards the people who bought it (including me).

[@santiagotrujillotobon1879]

Rumirumi meavy give away one of her sisters ship?

[@Swarm509]

They gave away tanks like that in World of Tanks. Usually just a cheap low tier tank and if you already owned it you got the gold equivalent.

[@RedXlV]

Aurora's been given away before and probably will again in the future. When that happens anybody who already owns the ship gets the doubloon value instead.

[@ruedelta]

Remember that the WoT developers are not the same as the WOWS developers. IIRC they are associated with Studio Lesta and were acquired by Wargaming.

The issue is that Aurora is generally small for a warship and the Russians are happy to pour money into preserving their heritage (turbulent as it is) Here in the US the preservation of ships generally falls under the state budget and therefore is usually at the bottom of any expenditure list. So, the best way to preserve your local ships is to visit them, donate, buy from the gift shop even though the prices are insane, its the only way to keep them (literally) afloat.
