Ships of the Leander class belonged to a new generation of light cruisers. They significantly differed from their World War I predecessors, particularly in the placement of their main battery guns in turrets. From 1936, Achilles, a Leander-class cruiser, served initially with the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy and later with the Royal New Zealand Navy. In World War II, the ship took part in the Battle of the River Plate and the Pacific campaign. In 1948, Achilles was handed over to the Indian Navy and renamed Delhi, serving for another three decades thereafter.<br>

Tier V ''Delhi'' introduces players to the defining characteristics of the Commonwealth cruisers. She has a relatively small main battery, but offsets this with access to the Crawling Smoke and Submarine Surveillance consumables.


<h4>The Ship</h4>
==Ship Stats==
Her top speed of 32.5 knots is somewhat slow for a cruiser, and coupled with a rather long rudder shift time of 7.7 seconds she can often feel unmaneuverable. Once she starts turning, her turning radius of 640 meters is fairly decent. Overall, ''Delhi'' is not well suited to open water fighting. Her concealment is good — 10.48 km as standard, which can be reduced to 9.4 km with <u>Concealment Expert</u>.

</div>


''Delhi'' mounts a standard cruiser {{Damage Control Party}}, which is active for 5 seconds with a 60 second cool down. Her {{Hydroacoustic Search}} will detect torpedoes at 3 km and ships at 4 km for 100 seconds. She mounts a {{Crawling Smoke Generator}} with a long emission time of 102 seconds, although each individual puff will disperse after just 10 seconds. When moving at ¼ speed this allows Delhi to slowly maneuver while remaining in smoke. This has a 160 second cool down between uses. Finally, her {{Submarine Surveillance}} consumable will detect submerged submarines at 6 km range. This is active for 20 seconds, and has three uses as standard with 120 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;">
With 16 mm of plating, ''Delhi’s'' bow and stern can bounce heavy cruiser AP if sufficiently angled, although she is vulnerable to all calibers of HE. Although her armor is relatively thin and offers little protection, her citadel sits low in the water and can be difficult to hit. Her thin armor and one of the lowest health pools of any Tier V cruiser mean that any incoming fire can potentially cause serious amounts of damage in a short time.

<h4>Armament</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
''Delhi'' mounts a small main battery of six 152 mm guns in three twin turrets, with a slow turret traverse time. Although her 14.3 km main battery range is rather short, it is still longer than most cruisers which can use a smoke screen. Individually her shells are some of the weakest at her tier, with low damage and a poor fire chance. Her guns have a fast reload of 6.6 seconds, allowing her to rapidly cycle her guns. However, the small number of barrels and the low damage per shell mean that her DPM trails behind many other Tier V cruisers. Additionally, her shells have long flight times over range, making aiming somewhat tricky. ''Delhi'' is a poor fire starter as her shells have a low 7% chance of starting a fire, with an expected 4 fires a minute in ideal conditions.

</div>


''Delhi'' mounts a quad torpedo launcher on each side. While her rearward angles are good, she has a restricted arc when launching torpedoes forward. Her torpedoes have a good range for a Tier V cruiser, able to reach out to 10 km, and can be launched from stealth with a small window of safety. Her torpedoes are strong weapons that cause high damage with a good flood chance, although their long reload limits their potential impact.

<h4>Anti-Air</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
''Delhi'' has one of the strongest AA defenses of all Tier V cruisers, and with her upgraded hull she is able to match several Tier VI cruisers. Her long-range guns reach out to 5.8 km, produce 2 powerful flak bursts which can deal significant damage to aircraft that stray into range, and deal high continuous damage. However, the majority of her AA strength comes from her smaller guns. As an early post-war fit, she carries numerous 40 mm automatic weapons which can rapidly shred attacking aircraft. Although she is unlikely to deter a determined Tier VI carrier, ''Delhi'' can make repeated attacks costly, and is fully capable of shutting down an unwary Tier IV carrier.

<h4>Anti-Submarine</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
''Delhi'' is a strong ASW platform, with her Submarine Surveillance and Hydroacoustic Search consumables allowing her to detect and track a submerged target. She also has access to an ASW airstrike which can be used to attack submarines up to 7 km away. This is the same range as many Tier VIII cruisers and allows Delhi to attack submarines from relative safety.

<h4>Battle Performance</h4>
''Delhi'' is well suited to a support role in battle. Her strong AA defenses and ASW equipment mean she can provide welcome backup to friendly forces. Her low main battery DPM, slow turret traverse, long rudder shift time, and small health pool leave her at a disadvantage in a straight up fight with enemy ships. Rather than engage in one-on-one fights, she should use her concealment to reach a position to support team mates where she is less likely to become a target herself. Effective use of island cover and smoke screens will reduce incoming fire and preserve health to remain in the battle.

INS ''Delhi'' was a *Leander-class light cruiser of the Indian Navy. She was originally built and commissioned as HMS ''Achilles'' for the Royal Navy, serving with the New Zealand Division and the Royal New Zealand Navy. She was sold to India in 1948 and renamed HMIS ''Delhi''. In 1950 she was renamed INS ''Delhi''.
 
[[File:Delhi_Badge.png|left|frame|x250px|link=|]]
 
<h4>Early History</h4>
She was originally built as ''Achilles'' and commissioned in 1933, before transferring to the New Zealand Division in 1936. Upon creation of the Royal New Zealand Navy, she was renamed and recommissioned HMNZS ''Achilles'' in September 1941.
As HMS/HMNZS ''Achilles'', she took part in the Battle of the River Plate and saw combat in the South Pacific against Japan. After the war, ''Achilles'' served as the guardship at Tokyo until March 1946. She was returned to the UK in September 1946.
 
<h4>Royal Indian Navy</h4>
On her return to the UK, ''Achilles'' was placed in reserve before being sold to India. On 5 July 1948, she was officially commissioned into the Royal India Navy as HMIS ''Delhi''; at this time, she still had many British officers and petty officers, including her captain. The arrival of ''Delhi'' marked the beginning of a change in the RIN, from a small coastal protection fleet toward a true ocean-going navy. She arrived in Bombay in September 1948, having called at Gibraltar and Malta en route.
 
<h4>Indian Independence</h4>
In January 1950, India became a republic, and HMIS ''Delhi'' became INS ''Delhi''. Commander Adhar Kumar Chatterji became her first Indian commanding officer. The first years of her service with newly independent India saw her performing many goodwill cruises, particularly to East Africa. Together with INS ''Mysore'', she was one of the major ships of the Indian Navy, gaining the nickname "Empress of the Indian Ocean." In 1953, she took part in Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation Review, and in 1956, she reprised her role of “HMS ''Achilles''” in the movie Battle of the River Plate. She took part in patrols and naval gunfire support during Operation Vijay, the annexation of Portuguese territories in India.
 
From 1968 she was reclassified as a training vessel; by this time, the Indian Navy had taken delivery of their first aircraft carrier, INS ''Vikrant''. Her role as a training vessel would see her return to New Zealand in 1969, where many World War II veterans were reunited with their ship.
 
''Delhi'' was finally decommissioned in 1978. One of her gun turrets was sent to New Zealand, and her main mast was used as the quarter deck at the National Defence Academy of India. The rest of the ship was scrapped, although there are reports that one of her turrets is preserved at the Regiment of Artillery Museum. Unconfirmed rumors allege that her third turret also survives, despite allegedly being recorded as “eaten by white ants.”

Delhi — Commonwealth Tech Tree Tier V Cruiser.

Ships of the Leander class belonged to a new generation of light cruisers. They significantly differed from their World War I predecessors, particularly in the placement of their main battery guns in turrets. From 1936, Achilles, a Leander-class cruiser, served initially with the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy and later with the Royal New Zealand Navy. In World War II, the ship took part in the Battle of the River Plate and the Pacific campaign. In 1948, Achilles was handed over to the Indian Navy and renamed Delhi, serving for another three decades thereafter.
