Trivia
Though HMS Kent is a Three-star ship, she is quite hard to obtain as the Five-star ships. According to the statistics it's as rare as Tirpitz.
Just as she says, her armor is very weak (and she doesn't even wear bra inside).
Kent is usually used as a name of county, or people's name.
She and her cousin London are the only allied heavy cruisers in-game with a torpedo armament. Historically, the torpedo armament on all the Kent-class CA's were removed before the outbreak of WWII, while the Norfolk-class (which followed the London-class, which kept their torpedoes throughout the war) never had them in the first place.
