Hampshire Commemorative Flag.

The "Saxon crown" has been used as an English heraldic device since the early 20th century. This symbol dates back to the coins of King Æthelstan (10th century), which contained the first known depiction of the crown of an English monarch.

 

Key Features:
Hampshire is also armed with two quadruple torpedo launchers with the ability to single-launch. The ship has weak armour, but special engine settings similar to cruiser Minotaur — it can quickly accelerate. Hampshire is equipped with the Hydroacoustic Search and Defensive AA Fire consumables in different slots.
