Navy War Warship Classes

The Roblox description for Navy War lists the fleet in one line: Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships, Submarines, and Aircraft Carriers. This page is that line with jobs attached. Rankings live on the ship tier list. Buildings that spawn them live on base. If a YouTuber is talking about Yamato skins or WW2 gamepass carriers, they are on a different game.

Destroyer

Job: scout, screen, first hull, home guard.
Unlock: first.
Lose it: often. That is the point.

Destroyers are how you learn the map without donating a Battleship. Keep at least one near docks even when you start stacking Cruisers. A Destroyer screen is what makes Submarines work for you and fail for them. See PvP for the screen pattern.

Cruiser

Job: mid-game bulk, island hold, the hull you should own multiples of.
Unlock: second.
Lose it: only if factories can replace it this session.

Cruisers decide public lobbies. They are the S-tier combat spend for accounts that already redeemed codes and built a factory floor. If you can only fund one “real” class after Destroyers, fund this one.

Battleship

Job: punch.
Unlock: after Cruisers, when income is boring.
Lose it: painful.

Battleships are not a personality. They are a cost. Pair them with Destroyers so they are not kited by everything smaller. Do not Gem-rush them in hour one; getting started exists because that rush ends sessions.

Submarine

Job: raid docks, punish isolated capitals, ignore fair island fights.
Unlock: once you can already float a Cruiser.
Lose it: cheap if you used it as a raid tool, expensive if it was your only hull.

Submarines are why you leave a home guard. They are also why a rushed Battleship is not S-tier. Use them as a knife, not as a navy.

Aircraft Carrier

Job: late power, air pressure, win-more.
Unlock: last.
Lose it: a headline for the enemy.

Carriers need a screen. If your shipyard can build one but your docks cannot protect it, you bought a pinata. Put carriers in the late block of the fleet planner, after factories and Cruisers exist.

Mixes that work

• Solo queue: Destroyers + Cruisers + factory stack. Maybe one Submarine.
• Duo: add a Battleship if both players can cover docks.
• Sweaty six-stack: screen, capitals, and a Submarine on raid duty. Voice will have to live in Discord because the place does not support voice chat.

Mixes that do not work

• Three Battleships, zero Destroyers.
• Carrier first.
• Submarine only.
• Any capital with rank-one factories.

Read how to play if you keep picking the second list because it looks cooler.

Named hulls and gamepasses

The unauthenticated game-pass API did not return a list we can cite. We will not invent Robux ships. If the live Shop sells a named hull, compare it to the jobs above: if it is a reskin of a Cruiser, treat it as a Cruiser. If it is a carrier, it still needs a screen.

When updates add a sixth class, it will get a heading here. Until then, five jobs are the whole fleet.

Buying the next hull without lying to yourself

Before Shop, name the job. Scout and screen is Destroyer. Island hold is Cruiser. Raid is Submarine. Punch is Battleship. Win-more is Aircraft Carrier. If you cannot name the job, you are shopping. Read ship rankings and PvP first. A six-player server will show you the mistake in one fight. Keep a home guard even when the new hull is exciting. Named legendaries that do not appear in your shipyard are someone else’s game.
