Nueve de Julio — Pan-American premium Tier VII cruiser.
A Brooklyn-class light cruiser built for the US Navy. Her main battery consisted of fifteen 152 mm guns that had a very high rate of fire. In 1951, she was transferred to the Argentine Navy.Nueve de Julio was first released for sale on 27 July 2018.

The first Pan-American ship in World of Warships, Nueve de Julio is USS Boise, a Brooklyn-class light cruiser, sold to Argentina in the 1950's. Boise's precis is applied here.
Nueve de Julio has many similarities to Tier VII American tech tree cruiser Helena. Comparisons between the two ships are well-earned, given that the two classes are closely related in American light cruiser design and development in the 1930's; anyone used to playing one of them should find the other a comfortable fit as well. There are a few notable differences between the two ships, however: Helena, for instance, has a kilometer more of range on her main battery guns, while Nueve de Julio gains access to the Specialized Repair Teams consumable. These aren't the only differences between the two ships, though, they are simply the most notable.
Nueve de Julio isn't a front line ship, no matter what her outstanding repair ability suggests. She is a close cousin of the American light cruiser branch, in no small part due to her association with Helena. Like many of the ships in that line, she does not take well to being shot at. Her armor simply isn't adequate protection against battleship shells, and even cruiser shells chew through her health pool all too quickly. As a result, any health regained through the repair consumable can quickly be lost again.
Captains should take care to minimize Nueve de Julio’s exposure to the enemy team through careful positioning and map awareness; however, keeping Nueve de Julio away from harm's reach can be difficult due to her short main battery range. Though range (13.6 kilometers) is 0.2 kilometers better than Atlanta’s 13.4 km base range, it falls somewhat short of Helena’s 14.6 km. The issue of engagement distance can be somewhat mitigated by Nueve de Julio’s high explosive shells — which can be a bit of a double edged sword due to their high arcing, low velocity nature. On one hand, it's easy to lob the the shells over islands and onto enemy ships, since they go into low earth orbit after being fired. On the other hand, these shells take a long time to go up and come down, making it difficult to lead enemy ships that are actively maneuvering with such low velocity ordinance. It is noteworthy that Nueve de Julio’s guns almost require the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells skill in order to dish out good damage with her HE shells. With the skill though, full salvos of her high-explosive rounds can be devastating.
With only 30 knots of speed to work with, Nueve de Julio can feel frustratingly slow and shouldn't be relied upon to change positions very quickly. She also handles rather sluggishly, with a large turning radius to go with her lower-than-average speed. These issues are only exacerbated when comparison to Helena.
Nueve de Julio sacrifices speed, main battery range, anti-aircraft firepower, and handling quality in order to gain access to her Royal Navy-style Specialized Repair Teams . Captains should think carefully about this ship's trade-offs and decide for themselves if they can make good use of the tools offered by the ship.Pros:
- Armament is comparable to Tier VII Helena, but turret traverse is faster.
- Massive broadside firepower; landing most of an HE salvo on an enemy ship can do a significant amount of damage.
- Access to Royal Navy-style Specialized Repair Teams gives her excellent survivability.
- Three rear facing turrets allows for effective kiting tactics.
- Good concealment.
- Quick rudder shift.
Cons:
- Weak broadside armor.
- Poor forward turret angles and high shell arcs.
- Slow for a Tier VII cruiser, with a large turning radius.
- Short main battery range (even shorter than Helena though by 0.2 kilometers is better than Atlanta
- Slower main battery reload speed and weaker AA suite than Helena.
- Requires the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells commander skill to make her guns truly effective against other cruisers and battleships.
- Has no torpedo protection.

Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Nueve de Julio are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 *
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 * or Engine Room Protection
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 *
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1 *
Slot 4 provides two viable upgrade options. Most captains will find Steering Gears Modification 1 useful for increased maneuverability. Captains who prefer to use islands as cover will likely prefer Propulsion Modification 1 in order to reposition more quickly if spotted.
Commander Skills
Key skills for Nueve de Julio commanders include the regular set of skills for light cruisers; priority being on Inertia Fuse for High Explosive Shells and Concealment Expert. Superintendent is also valuable for the additional Repair Party consumable.

Signals
Nueve de Julio is a light cruiser, meaning that most cruiser signals will work for her. Players may want to use signals to boost the fire chance ( ), consumable cool down (), and heal amount (). As a premium ship, players may also want to use economic signals, but her nation limits captain training abilities.
