Convoys have been supplying Britain for 1 years. Nonetheless, we need to have a deterrent to make the Arctic Convoys halt. That's where you come in, break through British Defenses, and complete Operation

Allies:
Prinz Eugen (All stages)
One Type 1936A Class Destroyer OR Escort
Tips:
-it is recommended to use long range guns (~300 like on some lvl30 battleships) or a extremely good cruiser with torpedoes in it (like the Japanese myoko class)
the escort should be able to sustai
n long enough to aid or draw attention away from (lvl 25-30 dreadnought battleships with highest armor thickness possible) you
-during stage 1, take out the opposing destroyer and cruiser first, prioritize the ship attacking your escort so that it will receive little to no damage at all, then you can take out the transport ships.
During stage 2, if your escort travels slower than your flagship, put it on "lead" this will make your escort turn at the same time your flagship turns to the certain direction
-at ~300 range turn your flagship slightly left 30°, your escort should do the same thing and you should start firing on the nearest Dido class cruiser with AP shells then HE shells when it start smoking
-after you sink that cruiser, aim at the ship your escort is targeting with and take it down
-next, aim at the other York class cruiser if theres any, use AP shells then later HE when it starts smoking
-Finish the remaining enemy ships
-at stage 3 it becomes tricky as you would face 5 ships, your ally Prinz Eugen will be immediately be battered to death by concentrated firing of enemy ships, take this opportunity to gun them down while they're distracted,
-again set your escort into "lead" then turn your flagship to the right
athe t ~300 mark (watch if your escort is faster than you, if it does, slow down, let it go first then go full speed ahead)
-first priority should be the L-class destroyer followed by the Dido class cruisers, as they have fast reloading guns and could melt your armor with HE shells leaving the final battleships on the 4th stage an easy opponent to deal with
-after that, sink the last two County class cruisers
-on stage four, you'll face the famous HMS Hood and Prince of Wales, although it looks intimading as Admiral class/Hood is a lvl 47 battlecruiser and King George V class is a lvl 50 battleship, they are easy to beat provided you and your escort have still plenty of HP (50% or higher)
-put your escorts into "lead" then at the ~300 mark turn sharply to the right
- take down first the ship that goes to the right (probably the Hood as Prinz Eugen would be on the left drawing away Prince of Wales) Hood would be likely be firing first at your escort so having her distracted can make her demise easier
-finally take down the Prince of Wales (try to keep her out of range if possible while fighting her)
