Tech Tree Tier&nbsp;IX [[Ship:Cruiser|Cruiser]].</p><p>During the early 1940s, the United States was actively involved in the development of new cruisers specifically designed to fulfill air-defense missions. They were to have 12 dual-purpose 152 mm guns, a speed of 33 knots, and a thick armor deck to protect against aerial bombs. After the outbreak of World War II, engineers were no longer bound by treaty constraints, although the ship's size was to remain within the limits of a light cruiser. The project never came to life, but its underlying concepts served as the basis for the subsequent design of the Worcester-class cruisers.</p><p> </p></div>
One of the first versions of a U.S. Navy light cruiser with a dual-purpose 152 mm artillery as the main battery. Further development of the project led to the creation of ''[[Worcester]]''-class cruisers.


|Performance={{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
===Pros===
Some aspects of Tier IX's ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' will feel like a downgrade for players who took the time to play through ''[[Cleveland]]'' at Tier VIII.  ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is notably longer and bulkier, trading ''Cleveland''’s compact hull and svelte handling for a hull form and layout that has much more in common with her heavy cruiser counterpart ''[[Buffalo]]''.  Indeed, if placed side-by-side with ''Buffalo'', captains will notice many similarities (such as her amidships aircraft catapults) and a couple of glaring changes.
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


One of the most notable differences between ''Cleveland'' and ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is the loss of the former's 5"/38 dual-purpose secondary turrets.  These venerable guns — found in a myriad of places across American ships of all classes — that comprised the long-range anti-aircraft battery at Tier VIII have been replaced by ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s 152mm/47 Mark 17 dual-purpose main battery at Tier IX.  It's an awkward trade, but it ends up working out slightly in ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s favor, as her outer AA bubble picks up an extra kilometer of range while the DPS is basically a wash.  ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s mid-range AA bubble is notably more powerful, though, as she packs a dozen quad 40mm Bofors mounts; her AA DPS at mid-range is 50% higher than that of ''Cleveland''.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s main battery guns themselves are also something of a mixed bag.  The ship can equip {{Main Battery Modification 3}} and lower her reload time to 5.7 seconds, but the traverse speed of her turrets is already slower than that of ''Cleveland'' and the aforementioned upgrade makes it even worse.  Captains who invest in the Expert Marksman skill can recoup most of this lost traverse speed, but will still find themselves frustrated with how slow her turrets move for a light cruiser.  The shell performance of ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s guns remains identical to the American light cruisers before and after her, and she retains the lightly armored citadel of her light cruiser brethren.  ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s armor belt — such as it is — is longer than that of ''Cleveland'' and extends across more of her waterline, but tops out at 102mm (25mm thinner than that of her predecessor).  She is decidedly less well-protected. 


From a handling perspective, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' both an improvement and a downgrade from ''Cleveland''.  She's faster by about a half-knot, but responds to her rudder slower and has a notably larger turning circle.  Captains who have grown accustomed to navigating the tight confines of certain maps with ''Cleveland'' are advised to spend some time learning how ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' handles prior to attempting the same kinds of maneuvers.  Like all other Tier IX cruisers, she gains access to the {{Repair Party}} consumable, which greatly increases her longevity in the hands of a heads-up captain.

Appraised of all these nuanced differences, captains are advised to treat ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' as a slightly larger, slower handling, and harder-to-conceal ''Cleveland''.  Most of the tactics and strategy used to work through ''Cleveland'' will still apply to ''{{#var:ship_name}}''; maximize use of them and move on towards ''[[Worcester]]''.

Seattle — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier IX Cruiser.

During the early 1940s, the United States was actively involved in the development of new cruisers specifically designed to fulfill air-defense missions. They were to have 12 dual-purpose 152 mm guns, a speed of 33 knots, and a thick armor deck to protect against aerial bombs. After the outbreak of World War II, engineers were no longer bound by treaty constraints, although the ship's size was to remain within the limits of a light cruiser. The project never came to life, but its underlying concepts served as the basis for the subsequent design of the Worcester-class cruisers.
