The hull was raised and towed to Dalian, where it was inspected by a Soviet commission. The most balanced of the proposed upgrade projects suggested replacing available weapons with Soviet ones while maintaining the total number and caliber of artillery. At the same time, it was proposed to substitute the old gun mounts with modern ones that could significantly increase the cruiser's combat capabilities. In 1959, the ship's name was changed to Huanghe, but the recall of all Soviet specialists from China prevented the cruiser from being upgraded, and she was scrapped a few years later.</p><p> </p></div>
[[File:Wows flag China.png|50px|frameless|right|link=]]A [[Ship:Ships of U.K.|British]] light cruiser (HMS ''Aurora'') intended to carry out close reconnaissance and counter-destroyer missions. In 1948, the ship was transferred to the Republic of China (Taiwan) but defected to the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) a year later, becoming its most powerful combat unit. In the early 1950s, a plan was drawn up for the refurbishment of the cruiser by replacing her weapons and equipment with Soviet-made models.<Br><br>''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was first released for sale worldwide on 30 November 2017.


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Low detectability
''Huanghe'' mates a British hull with a Commonwealth Crawling Smoke and Russian weapons. She may have low health, low torpedo tube count, and a small main battery, but her stealth and agility make her tricky to pin down. She represents a later version of Tier V ''[[Chungking]]'' following a hypothetical refit, but her weapons and consumables give the two ships vastly different play styles.
* High maneuverability
* Access to the Crawling Smoke Generator consumable


<h4>The Ship</h4>
===Cons===
''Huanghe'' is the stealthiest of the Tier VI cruisers, with a standard concealment of just 9.26 km. This can be reduced to 8.3 km with the <u>Concealment Expert</u> captain skill. In the absence of aircraft or destroyers, ''Huanghe'' can make a capable scout for her team.
* Short main battery firing range
* Low survivability
* Low damage per salvo with main guns


Her maneuverability is similarly good. Although a top speed of 33 knots will not break any records, she is still able to move about the battlefield with relative ease. Her exceptionally tight turning circle of 570 meters coupled with a fast rudder shift time of 6.7 seconds allows ''Huanghe'' to rapidly change direction. She is able to easily maneuver in confined spaces or react to incoming long-range fire with relative ease.


''Huanghe'' mounts a standard cruiser {{Damage Control Party}} with a 5 second action time and a 60-second cooldown between uses. In her second slot, ''Huanghe'' can choose between a {{Torpedo Reload Booster}} or {{Hydroacoustic Search}}, both with 3 uses as standard. The Torpedo Reload Booster reduces their reload time to 8 seconds, although it has a lengthy four minute wait between uses. Her Hydroacoustic Search is standard for a Tier VI cruiser; with an action time of 100 seconds, it will detect ships at 4 km and torpedoes at 3 km. Huanghe’s  low torpedo count and the fact that she  will likely spend a lot of time in smoke and around destroyers make Hydroacoustic Search the optimal choice for most players.
==Ship Stats==
In her third consumable slot, ''Huanghe'' mounts a {{Crawling Smoke Generator}}, a tool more commonly found on Commonwealth ships. This creates a smoke screen that disperses quickly, but it is active for an extended period, allowing ''Huanghe'' to maneuver at ¼ speed while remaining inside the smoke. This has 3 uses with an action time of 102 seconds and a wait of 160 seconds between uses.

<h4>Survivability</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
Although her armor layout is based on ''Chungking'', the Soviets have managed to improve her armor in places. With 16 mm of bow and stern plating, she is better protected than most Pan-Asian cruisers, able to bounce heavy cruiser AP rounds if she is angled enough. However, her citadel belt armor is only 70 mm thick, which provides little protection against broadside shots.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
Given her small size, ''Huanghe'' unsurprisingly has one of the lowest health pools of the Tier VI cruisers; only ''[[Rahmat]]'' and ''[[Dido]]'' have less. With no way to recover lost health, every hit taken will hurt. Her smoke can provide much-needed protection in an emergency, but the long cooldown means the best protection is planning ahead.

</div>


<h4>Armament</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
''Huanghe'' mounts a relatively small main battery of six 152 mm guns in three twin turrets with a short firing range of 13.2 km. These weapons have a fairly fast 7 second reload, but only six guns leaves her with low DPM for a light cruiser. Her shells have a high initial velocity and flat arcs, making gunnery over range considerably easier than many other light cruisers. Her turret traverse can be best described as stately, taking 25.7 seconds to rotate through a full 180°.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
Her AP rounds retain decent penetration at range; ''Huanghe'' can still penetrate the citadel armor of many light cruisers past 10 km. Although her AP shells are possibly better than expected, she lacks the ability to land a single knockout blow on most targets due to the small salvo.
! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" | MANEUVERABILITY !! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" |
Her HE shells share similar ballistics, so players may find it easier to hit destroyers at medium ranges. Otherwise, her HE is unremarkable. With a 12% fire chance per shell, ''Huanghe'' can potentially set 6 fires per minute under ideal conditions, although the actual total will likely be lower.

</div>


''Huanghe'' mounts a triple torpedo launcher on each side with good firing arcs, particularly to the rear, and narrow spreads. At shorter ranges this can be an advantage as more torpedoes are likely to hit, but it makes them poor area denial weapons at longer ranges. With an 8 km range, they cannot quite be fired from stealth but they can be launched at advancing enemies while ''Huanghe'' is sailing away. ''Huanghe'' is unlikely to score massive damage with these weapons, but they can provide a deterrent to larger ships or help to knock off decent chunks of health from a target.

<h4>Anti-Air</h4>
</div></div></div>
''Huanghe'' has strong AA defenses for a Tier VI cruiser. Her long-range guns reach out to 5.8 km and have the highest DPM at her tier. Her flak is also strong, creating 4 bursts that deal 1,260 damage to any aircraft caught in a cloud. ''Huanghe'' can provide good cover to nearby ships if players are able to overlap AA ranges. Her shorter-ranged guns are also rather good, with the majority able to engage targets at 3.5 km from the ship.
<div class="b-popup"><div class="b-popup_head js-tech-nav_head"><div><h2>Main Battery</h2></div><span class="b-tech-nav_arrow"></span></div><div class="b-popup_content" style="display: none;"><div><div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
''Huanghe'' is not impervious to air attack, but she is an unpleasant target, especially for Tier VI carriers, and she makes a good escort for other ships. An unwary carrier player can easily lose several aircraft to ''Huanghe’s'' defenses.

<h4>Anti-Submarine</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
''Huanghe'' uses stern-mounted depth charges for her ASW, dropping a set of 7 depth charges in each attack. She can have a maximum of two attacks ready to drop at a time. Her individual depth charges are fairly weak, with low flood and fire chances. ''Huanghe'' can use her Hydroacoustic Search to track a submarine if players know where to start looking, which can aid in hunting, but she is not a good ASW platform.

<h4>Battle Performance</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
''Huanghe'' is a master of the stealth game, able to use her concealment to reach advantageous positions with ease. Her concealment allows players to pick the fights they want, and ensure she has support before engaging. ''Huanghe'' is a team player and will struggle against same tier enemies without help. Her relative fragility means she is not suited to being the lead ship in a stand-up brawl; she is better suited to supporting friendly ships as they engage their targets.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
Using the crawling smoke allows ''Huanghe'' to constantly cycle her guns from relative safety. Her position is less predictable than a cruiser in a standard smoke screen, but this still requires team mates to spot targets for her. She works well at medium to short ranges, where her accurate guns are suited to engaging destroyers. Fighting destroyers is still not easy, but her maneuverability and Hydroacoustic Search make it safer than in many other cruisers. The flat arcs of her guns are an advantage in open waters, but make firing from behind islands more difficult.

</div>


As the battle progresses and the enemy destroyers are hopefully removed, ''Huanghe'' can move into a scouting role. Although they are not fantastic weapons, she can use torpedoes fired into the path of approaching enemies to damage larger ships. Care must be taken not to overextend, particularly when her smoke runs out, as ''Huanghe'' will not stand up to sustained fire for long.

The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
*'''Slot 1''':  {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}
*'''Slot 2''':  {{Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1}} or {{Engine Room Protection}}
*'''Slot 3''':  {{Smoke Generator Modification 1}} or {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}}
*'''Slot 4''':  {{Propulsion Modification 1}}


''Huanghe'' benefits from access to the [[Ship:Upgrades#Special_Upgrades|Special Upgrades]] that are available through the [[Ship:Arsenal|Arsenal]]. Captains should prioritize {{Smoke Generator Modification 1}}, as it offers a significant upgrade to the {{Crawling Smoke Generator}}. The {{Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1}} is also useful, as it will better align your Hydroacoustic search duration with your upgraded smoke duration.

The special Pan Asian captain, Sa Zhenbing, will bring little advantage with his special talents. ''Huanghe'' is unlikely to be landing many torpedo hits, and gaining Combat Scout is a tricky proposition due to ''Huanghe’s'' reliance on her smoke screen. However, the improved Consumables Enhancement skill provides a welcome boost to the cooldown of her Crawling Smoke.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' {{Crawling Smoke Generator}} is the same as ''[[Perth]]'s'' in terms of performance. {{Torpedo Reload Booster}} is not recommended due to the lack of torpedoes the ship has, thus leaving {{Hydroacoustic Search}} as the only preferable option for '''Slot 2'''.

==DESIGN DETAILS==
 
The Arethusa class was a class of four light cruisers built for the Royal Navy between 1933 and 1937 and that served in World War II. Designed as a "Trade Route cruiser" to counter the threat of commerce raider against British merchant shipping Their design was based on a downsized Leander class cruiser and would allow the Royal Navy to build six Arethusa class ships in place of five Leander class ships whilst remaining within tonnage restrictions imposed by naval treaties. The reduced combat capabilities compared to the Leander class was not deemed to be a problem for a ship intended to fight auxiliary cruisers and six ships could protect a larger area than five more capable ships. The class featured a similar overall armour scheme to the Leander class but with reduced thickness to save weight. Main armament was six 152mm guns in three twin turrets, two forward and one aft. Additional armament consisted of four or eight 102mm secondary guns and six torpedo tubes.   
 
In the end only four Arethusa class ships were built, the final two ships that were planned had their orders cancelled and they were instead ordered as Town Class cruisers. The four ships of the class saw heavy action, particularly in the Mediterranean battles where they served as part of the main fleet rather than in their originally intended role of trade protection.
 
 
==CONSTRUCTION & SERVICE==


Originally commisioned as HMS Aurora for the Royal Navy in August 1936, she was assigned to the Home Fleet until 1941 and took part in the Norwegian Campaign and operations in Arctic waters. She was transferred to the Mediterranean and arrived in October 1941. As part of the Mediterranean Fleet she took part in several battles and was damaged by mines in December 1941. She returned to the Mediterranean in November 1942 for the Landings in North Africa, Operation Torch. In December she was part of Force "Q" at Bône against the Axis convoys between Trapani and Tunis. Aurora took part in the invasion of Sicily and the Salerno landings. She moved to the Aegean in October 1943 where she was damaged by bombs  on the 30th of October, and withdrew to Taranto for repairs which were completed in April 1944. In August 1944 she supported the landings in the south of France, then assisted in the liberation of Athens.
<gallery>
 
After the war it was announced that HMS Aurora would be sold to China to compensate for the loss of several Chinese ships that Britain had taken and lost during the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in 1941. She was refitted in Portsmouth and handed over to Nationalist China in 1948 and renamed Chung King after the war time capital of China. During the Chinese Civil War she provided naval gunfire support for Nationalist troops during the Battle of Tashan in October 1948. In February 1949 her crew defected to the Communist side and brought the ship with them. In March 1949 she was sunk in Huludao harbour by Nationalist bombers during an air raid. She was later salvaged with the aid of the Soviet Union but largely stripped bare as repayment and became a hulk used for storage and as a barracks. Later plans to convert her to a salvage ship were cancelled and she was scrapped during the Cultural Revolution.
 
In World of Warships, Huanghe represents a hypothetical scenario where the ship was refitted with Soviet built weapons following her salvage in 1951.
 
Her main battery guns were originally designed for mounting on battleships, although this never happened. Instead this model of gun was used as the main armament on ''Chapaev'' class cruisers in a triple turret. The secondary battery guns are a model which were designed for the ''Chapaev'' Class cruisers and saw extensive use on the ''Chapaev'' and ''Sverdlov'' class cruisers.
===Historical Inaccuracies===
* ''Huanghe'' is depicted with a fantasy Soviet refit. Historically the ship was sunk shortly after defecting to the Communists in 1949 and was never repaired. The empty hulk spent the remainder of its career in China as an accommodation and warehouse ship.
* By the time she received the name ''Huang He'' in 1959, she was being planned for conversion to a salvage ship.

Huanghe — Pan-Asia Premium Tier VI Cruiser.

After Chinese cruiser Chungking was sunk by Kuomintang aircraft, the People's Republic of China's government attempted to restore her. The hull was raised and towed to Dalian, where it was inspected by a Soviet commission. The most balanced of the proposed upgrade projects suggested replacing available weapons with Soviet ones while maintaining the total number and caliber of artillery. At the same time, it was proposed to substitute the old gun mounts with modern ones that could significantly increase the cruiser's combat capabilities. In 1959, the ship's name was changed to Huanghe, but the recall of all Soviet specialists from China prevented the cruiser from being upgraded, and she was scrapped a few years later.

Pros

  • Low detectability
  • High maneuverability
  • Access to the Crawling Smoke Generator consumable

Cons

  • Short main battery firing range
  • Low survivability
  • Low damage per salvo with main guns
