Hey Secret Santa... I would REALLY like an Arkansas Beta to complete my US BB collection. It would REALLY make my Christmas!
USA_Patriot1776, NA
having this right under the comment where you say you're gonna nominate someone if they nominate you is diabolical
A collector's gotta do what a collector's gotta do...
I was too late :<
They didn't say you can't chose Surcouf so....
I think they forgot to add a bunch of ships like Alabama ST/VL, Arkansas B.
HogHammer (NA)

Surcouf (because I don't know what he already has)

Surcouf (because I don't know what he already has)
I'm nominating: awesome_e10 (NA). He is currently serving aboard a US aircraft carrier and loves playing WoWs in his free time. He always talks about his dream of getting the Thunderer and I want to make that dream come true. Signed, NuclearChurro (NA).

Surcouf (because I don't know what he already has)
Bouffe_MonCalibre - EU
Why does he deserve a gift? Because he's calm, warm, and a teammate who loves breaching citadels and always shows respect for his opponents. I think I'll choose the Rhode Island battleship he should really appreciate it.
signed : Maj_34 - EU
Dear Santa, in case anyone’s wondering, I’ve always wanted an Iwaki Alpha… not the Kitakami.
Love, xgamerms999 - NA :D
But I don’t have any friends….
I’ll nominate you if you nominate me! What’s your name and server? Any ship you want?
Do u need a hug hahaha
Can I nominate a player to have a ship taken away from them?
damn, you either really hate CVs/Subs or you have some unfinished buisness
GLP1(?) Minotaur lol
• I am nominating my friend Nice_Nature (NA)
• Why I think they deserve it: They have been an amazing friend to me for the past few years. They introduced me to the game and have taken the time to help teach and talk with me about it. Though I dont have many battles, we have fun together and share laughs constantly. I think a gift like this would mean a lot to them if they were to receive it, and it would bring me immense joy to see them receive it.
• What ship would I choose to gift: Wisconsin.
• Me: NimNommy(NA)
Happy Holidays and good luck everyone!
Now I have to find a kind stranger who would need me as their pair huhu
I'll nominate you if you nominate me
Im nominating IceManJ37 on the NA server to receive the Thunderer for being the best divisonmate.
signed The_Red_Butcher NA
I think Random_Boi_1 (ASIA) deserves a Thunderer tbh
suclearnub (Asia)
I'd like to give this guy an Incomparable for this christmas, cool dude, and also friendship is magic

Dear Santa, could MisterMooman, a really good friend of mine, be blessed with the one ship he's always wanted, an original Belfast, the Tier VII? He missed out on it when it first came out, and he works very hard IRL with his job, so I'd love it if he could be rewarded somehow. He's on the EU server as MisterMooman. My username is BigBeautifulWarships, and I'm also on the EU server.
Dear santa! I nominate emmay [EU].
She refuses to play bbs with me because she finds them all too slow, so Georgia would definitely change her mind.
Signed: Balllz [EU]
I'm nominating: DeathsWelcome (NA). He is old and would like to get Sibir soon so he can play it for a long time. He always talks about his dream of having all the Soviet BBs and I want to make that dream come true. Signed, BatteryNotRequired (NA).
There are several bad players that I want to nominate to receive Tiger ‘59, can I do that?

I'm nominating, "Vonstrauss (Server: NA)."
Here's why they deserve something special;
He's fun to play with and enjoy his company both as a player and as a friend.
Here's the ship I'd get them if I could; Thunderer
Signed, Herugaa (Server: NA)
I’d like to nominate ScypionA (EU).
He’s been a really calm, reliable, and helpful platoonmate all year — the kind of teammate who somehow stays sane even when RNG isn’t.
His greatest dream has always been to get Musashi, the tier IX long-range hammer of justice, and I’m pretty sure the only thing he wants more than landing citadels is landing them from the next map over. If anyone deserves to finally join the Musashi club, it’s him.

He Really wants the USS Montana, Santa, he even buy a Premium BB to grid it, the montana its one of their favorite ships
I am nominating Lynxunderscore from EU
He has been playing this game with me for the longest time and I enjoy every match I get to play with him. He also likes gunboat dds so I would like him to get a Smaland :)

I'm nominating Coded91, NA
He deserves it because he's been an amazing friend for all the years I've been playing botes.
The ship he's always wanted is Somers
Signed, Mike1Juliet
Tlfcringe_ (NA) They deserve it because after 7 years they still log in and check on how I'm doing all the time, no matter if it's a hard week or something is going on in life. I'd choose Bremen because they need more cruisers for clan battles! Decksmith (NA)
nominate wAnTeD_tank because he has played the PC version of this game for many years, while I continued on the mobile Blitz version. We’ve been playing together for 12 years across World of Warplanes, World of Tanks, WoT Blitz Mobile, and World of Warships since release. Now we’re back playing together as a platoon on the PC version, even though I’m using a new account. He truly deserves a great ship — the Småland.

Nominating: Transitsc99499 (server NA)
Why: A few weeks ago a long-time member of our clan passed away (78yo, complications of pneumonia), Transitsc99499 had recruited that member and they were good friends, spending many an evening playing the game and chatting ships/history. I'd like to gift Transitsc99499 a Hawaii, as a fast fire cruiser lover, to remember his friend with for this first Christmas without them.
Ship to gift: Hawaii
Me: Server NA, Khthonie
Can I please have the address to send a wad of cash to Santa to compensate him when he slips on my roof and accidentally drops Somers down the chimney? I’m sure it will be traumatic for him and I’d like to ensure he gets all the help he needs in his recovery!

Let's give it a try. What's your IGN?
How do I whale this?
I nominate MudMurfin EU for getting me into the game.
I would like them to have Arkansas Beta.

Dear Santa,
I wish for the Yamato Kai for TunderboltYY. He is a cool but lazy guy. I need him to come back into the game. I have been waiting for 3 months... We need to play together again. We gotta spend those good old doubloons! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Santa and Wargaming!

Dear Santa, I'd liketo nominate Herugaa (NA) because he's been having a rough time in his life this year, but next year he's getting married and I want the best for him.

I know am greedy but I wish someone would nominate me for a Wisconsin, literally my favourite ship and I missed it back then Amaronn, Asia
Im nominating SneezleSnoot -NA
Here's why they deserve something special:
Six months ago SneezleSnoot roped me back into the game. I was an original beta player but hadn't played in years. When I came back boy was I overwhelmed. There were so many lines and gimmicks with different ships that I had no idea where to even start again. Throughout these 6 months he has answered every question I've had, what ships to use, why to use them, advice on how to play, and how to build them. He has been like an enclyopedia of knowledge and has been super helpful. He even helped me get into a good clan with good rewards. Also funny enough as we've been playing together my RNG has been very good and his has been terrible with ships so here's the ship I'd get them if I could:
Thunderer
Signed, HostileMedic-NA
If you see this, thank you for all the help this year dude!
Kitakami is dog shit anyhow 😄

Hello Santa, I’m leaving you this card… because deep down I know even you agree he finally deserves a ship not just a sailor’s underwear in the stocking this year 🎄🚢
Who you’re nominating (name + server)
REDRAGNAR (-KVT-), EU server
Why they deserve a gift
As 2025 was a horrible year for such a warm and helpful person, I would love to see a surprised smile on his face which might make some of his worries vanish for a moment of joy.
Which ship you’d choose for them
Hannover
Your own name + server*

Hey secret santa,
I'll nominate Soltan59 (eu).
I really want to gift one to the dedicated low tier players. My first thought was the legendary ApplePie1 with over 30k battles in Dresden. We tried to gift him an Emden many years ago as a community effort but he did not respond. Sad to see that he apparently left the game 2 years ago.
So instead gifting a Charleston to a (somewhat active) player with ~14k battles in St. Louis sounds like a true Santa gift to me.

Nominating thyself is crazy. Anyways, can I have the ship called "2 million doubloons and a thousand ultra Santa containers"?
I'd like to nominate: Rishad_Rayhan (ASIA). He's my captain, and taking me to the next stage in this game. He's quite experienced, but he's never sailed with the MUSASHI yet. That's the best gift I can wish for him.
Signed, EricIsBack (ASIA).

I believe that this player is the best commander in the clan one could imagine, and I think he should receive some gift from Santa. Personally, I would dream of receiving Smolensk.

I’d like to nominate ZuuGAKz (ASIA).
The one who bring me to the game, and guide me.
Who I am nominating: WoWS_Lethe [EU]
Why he deserves a gift: He’s crazy about the game and absolutely loves it and loves helping other players around him too. Such a nice guy. He’s deeply upset that he wasn’t playing the game yet when T-X Somers was available for purchase, so I’d like to help him about that.
Which ship I’d choose for him: Tier x Somers
My own name: TGS61 [EU]
Pops_notthesoda (NA)
I nominate him because he shown me this game, he's been wanting the Musashi.
I’m a very young person but I am of age, I’ve always loved ships and history. Ive been playing this game since 2017 and even tho this game pisses me off so much at time, I always loved this game and it brings me joy because my life has been very not so great especially this year. The ship I’ve always wanted is the tier 10 ship Smaland but I could never get it because I never had enough money or 2 million free exp when it was available. Idk why I’m ranting like this lol but if anyone is feeling generous or anything, that’s my wish to to the ole wargaming Santa Claus. Thank you.

I would like to nominate Rothko from the North American server. He is one of the nicest people I have come across in this game. He is EXTREMELY patient with new players, explains the various mechanics of the game and provides tips to help us get better. I have come across some toxic players in this game, and it is people like Rothko that have kept me playing. Thank you Rothko! If I could, I would love to give him a Musashi. - AHockeyFan (North American Server).

I’m nominating Praetor_Rykard (NA)
I think they deserve something special because they’ve been a great friend to me for over a decade now. They helped convince me to get my own PC to get World of Warships in the first place, and they literally crossed international borders just to meet me in person. They’ve been a genuine friend both online and offline and I think they deserve a reward for being such a good friend for such a long time, and helping me through some of my darkest days.
If I could, I would get them the German cruiser Blücher.
I nominate Zyphreus (ASIA)
why: He's my father. He's done everything for me. He's the reason I'm playing this game. Great div mate and a father who never crashes out, even if he gets devstriked from 26 km. So I'd choose a Smaland for him.
Me? I hope for an Smaland as well but if my father gets the Smaland I'll be very very happy.

I'm nominating OberstleutnatKopke - EU
Here's why they deserve something special:
Returning as a beta player after years away was overwhelming, but OberstleutnatKopke guided me through the fog. While I was struggling to master the Utrecht and the timing of its airdrops, he acted as a walking encyclopedia, explaining every new mechanic, ship line, and build. He even helped me land in a great clan. Ironically, while my RNG has been fantastic during our sessions, his has been terrible—it’s time he finally gets the luck he deserves. He’s spent six months making me a better commander; he earned this.
Here's the ship I'd get them if I could: Irresistible
