I think with the Main guns at 6/6/5 it should be 8 points pushing it over the bubble. If the Main Guns were 6/5/5 like most other destroyers then I can get in the 7 point line.
Just as an FYI, the only other destroyer with a 6/6/5 MG line in 1939 is the French Mogador at 10 pts (which also has better Torps, worse ASW, and a 2/8/2 A/V/H line)

The key is the comparison to the other tribals. All are similar with two good SAs and I think 8 would look unfavorable net to the others. I'm not hands on with my own cards at the moment and I can't remember if I still have these tribals at 7 or have nudged them up to 8 but they are obviously still officially 7 regrdless.

HMS Nubian had only recently arrived in the Mediterranean when Italy entered the conflict and would see much action in the next 12 months. Present at Cape Matapan, she finished off the crippled cruiser Pola with a torpedo. During the battle of Crete, she was bombed by a Ju88 whilst part of the escort to HMS Formidable. Hit on the stern, she suffered severe damage to her rudder but managed to reach safety. Committed to a lengthy overseas repair, it was nearly 18 months before she saw further service in the Arctic, Mediterranean and Indian Oceans. 1 of only 4 RN Tribals to survive the war, Nubian earned 13 battle stars.

I had to do some editing on the fluff to make it fit. I also upgraded the armament slightly to the very early war modifications and additions. Mainly British destroyers were being sunk by aircraft right and left!
