An experimental light cruiser based on an idea to create a fast warship carrying the most powerful armament available while having minimum displacement.

|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Access to aiming systems modification 0 upgrade
Tier IV Japanese light cruiser ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is an interesting departure from other cruisers at tier. She has an okay health pool, though not nearly as good as Tier III ''Katori''.  She has the same slow turrets of all IJN low-tier cruisers, and at Tier IV the 140mm rifles do not show up well against the better armored ships at the tier. Consider them adequate and lament that she has only four rifles.  The armament that would shine if it could is her 610mm torpedoes that are faster and much harder hitting than older models.  Unfortunately, with a 6km range, only two tubes per side, and narrow firing angles, they are dangerous to employ offensively. To offset this, though, ''Yūbari'' has the lowest detectability range of all Tier IV cruisers: 9.6km.  
* High AA defense efficiency
* High maneuverability


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can equip the legendary {{Aiming Systems Modification 0}} &mdash; one of only three ships that can do so<ref>The others are ''Iwaki Alpha'' (now unobtainable) and ''[[Katori]]''.</ref> &mdash; for large buffs to all main and secondary armament (except AA).
===Cons===
*  Low damage per minute


A surprising feature of the ship is ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s anti-aircraft capability.  While it can hardly be said to be "good" it is the best of any Tier IV cruiser save ''[[Giussano]]'', and better than most Tier Vs.  In addition to her base AA firepower, she equips {{Defensive AA Fire}} for a couple of extra punches, although it will won't prevent a persistent carrier from dropping you once or even twice.  She is among the fastest and most maneuverable of the Tier IV cruisers &mdash; good for dodging.


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can be played as a gunship, but that is not her main strength.  She plays more like an IJN torpedo destroyer without a smoke generator.  Read the situation and employ the appropriate weapon and you will find in her a good deal of fun.

===History===
====Design====


Originally ordered under the 1917 8-4 program, ''Yūbari'' was constructed as the main base for the upcoming new and 'modern' Japanese cruiser design of its time. The famous Japanese naval architect Yuzuru Hiraga oversaw her construction, and would later on incorporate his ideas (of weight reduction as well as outfitting ships with maximum firepower possible into a given displacement) into the later cruisers, such as ''[[Furutaka]]''.
==Gallery==
<div class="b-popup"><div class="b-popup_head js-tech-nav_head"><div><h2>WoWs Gallery</h2></div><span class="b-tech-nav_arrow"></span></div>[[File:Yubari ship image.png|thumb]]<div class="b-popup_content" style="display: none;"><div>


In 1914, the Japanese government unofficially declared the 8-8 program, which would be in accord with Japan's interests in the Far East. As it's named, the 8-8 program was a plan to build a fleet consisting of eight battleships and eight battlecruisers, and the lifespan of the capital ships being eight years. However, due to Japan's lack of financial and industrial power at the time, the plan was reduced to the 8-4 in 1917. Be that as it may, as the years passed along, Japan's financial and industrial power grew and became sufficient that by 1920, the 8-8 program was restarted. In response to the US refusing to ratify the Treaty of Versailles of World War I, the Japanese began their naval arms race with the US.

In 1922, ''Yūbari'' was laid down as an experimental light cruiser scout that would have as much firepower as the ''Sendai''-class cruiser, but with far lighter displacement. Due to the idea of making the ship as light as possible, the armor would be incorporated into the belt armor at 38 mm thick and the deck armor 28 mm, which was far better than earlier 5,000-ton cruiser designs. The engine was designed similarly to a destroyer, with only one smokestack, to reduce overall length and save deck space, and eight boilers feeding into three turbines- this gave ''Yūbari'' the desired speed of 35 knots. Additionally, she was originally outfitted with 3x2 14cm/50 3rd Year Type naval guns, but in her 1944 refit, the A position main battery turret (front-most turret) was replaced by a 120mm AA gun. As such, she is seen in-game with the 1944 outfit.

* Light and dark green camouflage was only applied to aircraft carriers.
* ''Yubari''’s overall dark gray paint scheme is missing. This was standard on all Japanese warships beginning in 1903 until the end of World War II. A simple solution would be to demount the permanent camouflage, but players will not be able to benefit from the camouflage's bonuses.
* ''Yubari'' is represented in her 1944 configuration. Max speed should be 32 knots, not 34.5 knots.
