 +''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a premium Tier VI French cruiser that is a development of the ''La Galissonnière'' class. Both ships feature triple 152mm turrets in an AB-X configuration firing identical shells, though ''De Grasse'' has a slightly longer range. Given how quickly she puts shells downrange and the fire chance on her high explosive rounds, ''De Grasse'' is a superb fire-starter and a threat to burn down enemy capital ships at ranges that make her difficult to hit.
  
?''De Grasse'' is a Tier VI premium French Cruiser that is a development of the ''[[La Galissonnière]]'' class. They both feature triple 152mm turrets in a ABX configuration firing the same AP and HE shells, though ''De Grasse'' has a higher rate of fire and 0.3km higher range. Torpedo-wise, ''De Grasse'' features triple launchers instead of the twin launchers found on ''La Galissonnière,'' and thus has a longer reload on each mount. Both have unimpressive secondaries and weak AA. Maneuverability-wise, ''De Grasse'' is 2.5 knots faster, but has a 1.1 sec longer rudder shift time and a 40m wider turning circle. Both ships feature the engine boost consumable. Overall, ''De Grasse'' is fairly similar to ''La Galissonnière,'' and anybody used to her will feel right at home with ''De Grasse.''+Torpedo-wise, ''De Grasse'' features triple launchers instead of the twin launchers found on ''La Galissonnière'', and each mount has a longer reload time as a result. ''De Grasse''’s torpedoes are excellent long range harassment and area denial weapons, good for throwing around islands and into caps hoping to hit unsuspecting enemies; however, with only 3 fish on each side, captains shouldn't rely on them to devastate enemy battleships at close range.
  
?'''[https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/128192-premium-ship-review-de-grasse LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: De Grasse] from the NA forums.'''+Both ships have unimpressive secondaries and weak AA. While ''De Grasse''’s anti-aircraft armament is sufficient for self-defense, her long range AA power is badly lacking even with {{Defensive AA Fire}} active; she's not a ship that her teammates can rely on for anti-aircraft support. ''De Grasse'' is notably faster than ''La Galissonnière'', but has a longer rudder shift time and a wider turning circle. She retains ''La Galissonnière's'' access to the {{Engine Boost}} consumable, while adding access to a {{Catapult Fighter}} that ''La Galissonnière'' doesn't have.
 + 
 +Captains who are veterans of ''La Galissonnière'' will feel right at home playing ''De Grasse'', and will find the slight improvements to her rate of fire and torpedoes to be welcome upgrades.

?By 1936, the ''Marine Nationale'' was looking for the next generation of cruisers to succeed the then-modern ''[[La Galissonnière]]''-class cruisers. Still adhering to the limitations imposed by the 1936 London Naval Treaty, France sought to construct a new type of light-cruiser under the sub-8000 ton benchmark. Rationally, as successors to the 7,500 ton ''[[La Galissonnière]]''-class cruisers, the new light cruiser ''De Grasse'' would use the extra displacement to improve on the deficiencies discovered on the preceding light cruisers. Specifically, the three major areas of interest were to improve the aviation facilities, the armament suite, and propulsion. +By 1936, the ''Marine Nationale'' was looking for the next generation of cruisers to succeed the then-modern ''[[La Galissonnière]]''-class of ships.

Rationally, as successors to the 7,500 ton ''La Galissonnière''-class cruisers, the new light cruiser ''De Grasse'' would use the extra displacement to improve on the deficiencies discovered on the preceding light cruisers: specifically, the aviation facilities, the armament suite, and propulsion.
  
?Originally designed in 1936, the cruiser was planned to have no less than two aircraft catapults, and the facilities to carry up to three individual aircraft. Furthermore, a series of lifts and tracks between the hangar and catapults were implemented to automatize the process. By positioning the dual-hangar amidships, ''De Grasse'' would use a single-funnel design, as opposed to her predecessor. The space on top of the hangars was used to install light AA and secondary fire-directors. However it was discovered that the aviation facilities were very cramped and she would be top-heavy. Therefore by the 1938 design proposal, she was limited to a single hangar, which meant a rearrangement of light AA and fire-control. +Originally designed in 1936, the cruiser was planned to have no less than two aircraft catapults, and the facilities to carry up to three individual aircraft.

Therefore, by the 1938 design proposal, she was limited to a single hangar, which meant a rearrangement of light AA and fire control.
  
?De Grasse’s main armaments were of particular concern (due to the underperformance of her predecessors). After a few design proposals, it was decided to use the same rifles and configuration as ''[[La Galissonnière]]''-class, but the turrets themselves would be modified triple-gun versions of the DP guns mounted on battleship ''Richelieu''. Although they were heavier, these new mounts would have the ability to engage both surface and air threats, as they could elevate the guns up to +70˚. As well, these new mounts had the ability to reload at any elevation; a significant increase in rate of fire. Since the hoists for the shells and power were displaced off to the side of the guns, the turret could fit the smaller dimensions of a cruiser. +''De Grasse''’s main armament was of particular concern (due to the underperformance of her predecessors).

Additionally, these new mounts had the ability to reload at any elevation, offering a significant increase in rate of fire. Since the hoists for the shells and power were displaced off to the side of the guns, the turret could fit the smaller dimensions of a cruiser.
?Similarly, there was a revision of the AA suite of the ''De Grasse'' class. They would mount the completely novel twin 100mm Mle 1933 DP guns in fully-enclosed pseudo turrets – type ''avisos-dragueurs''. Not only are they more protected; but also they could be directed via centralized fire–control. But, due to weight and necessary space for dedicated magazine, only a few could be fitted. The three guns were all placed aft, which gave excellent rear cover, but poor front cover. To compensate, 4 twin-37mm Mle 1933 AA guns were positioned forward. Another improvement, from ''[[La Galissonnière]]''-class, ''De Grasse'' mounted 2 triple-550mm torpedo tubes; one on each side, amidships. +
  
?To ensure there was not any loss of performance due to the increase in displacement, it was a necessity to improve the propulsion machinery. While the internal layout was similar to her predecessors, new machinery was installed in place of the old. Boilers that were akin to the models used in ''contre-torpilleurs'' – which would operate at higher-pressure loads – and turbines that could be configured for multi-pressure work was installed. Ultimately this was able to increase power from 100,000 to 110,000 shaft horsepower; achieving a top speed above 32 knots. +Similarly, there was a revision of the AA suite of the ''De Grasse'' class.

?In the end, she was a cruiser that shared design characteristics of the ''[[La Galissonnière]]''-class and cruiser ''[[Algerie|Algerié]]''. Her hull was superficially similar to her predecessors; albeit with a more flared and narrow bow to increase sea keeping. Her superstructure was akin to the heavy cruiser: built around a central tower and a single funnel amidships. ''De Grasse'' used a combination of high tensile steel and duralumin on the hull and superstructure respectively to decrease displacement and top-weight. To save design time, a similar armour profile as ''[[La Galissonnière]]''-class was used on ''De Grasse'' as well. +To ensure there was not any loss of performance due to the increase in displacement, an improvement in main propulsion was required.

?With her design finalized in 1938, ''De Grasse'' was laid down on 28 August 1939 at the Lorient Naval Dockyards. With the commencement of the Second World War, her construction was on halt; she was launched 11 September 1946. By 1951 she was towed to Brest Naval Yard and was completed as an anti-aircraft cruiser. She was commissioned into the ''Marine Nationale'' on 10 September 1956. +With her design finalized, ''De Grasse'' was laid down on 28 August 1939 at the Lorient Naval Dockyards. The commencement of the Second World War in September 1939 halted her construction, and she was not launched until 11 September 1946. In 1951, she was towed to Brest Naval Yard and was finally completed as an anti-aircraft cruiser with a radically different main battery configuration. She was commissioned into the ''Marine Nationale'' on 10 September 1956.
  
 ===Service=== ===Service===
?''She shimmied a little to the left. Then she shimmied a little to the right .Then she shimm– aaand she's decommissioned.''+Despite being laid down nearly two decades earlier, ''De Grasse'' finally entered service in 1956, becoming the flagship of the French Mediterranean Squadron. Her service in the Mediterranean was largely uneventful, serving there from 1956 until she was taken out of service momentarily in 1964. Following two years of conversions, she re-entered the ''Marine Nationale'' as the flagship of the Nuclear Testing fleet, bound for the French Polynesia. There she would remain until she was decommissioned in 1973, and sold for scrap in 1974.
? + 
 +===Historical Inaccuracies===
 +* ''De Grasse'' is represented in World of Warships in the configuration she would have had if she had been completed using her original design. Her as-built armament in 1956 was reminiscent of the ''[[Atlanta]]''-class light cruisers of the U.S. Navy, comprised of eight (8) twin 127mm dual-purpose turrets.
 +* The dazzle camouflage scheme is actually the historical camouflage of ''Gloire'', a ''[[La Galissonnière]]''-class cruiser. ''De Grasse'' was never camouflaged.

De Grasse — French special premium Tier VI cruiser.

According to the draft design in 1938, the light cruiser De Grasse was developed from the La Galissonnière-class ships, and shared their main advantages: improved armor and good main battery guns. She had distinctive AA armament, increased speed, and slightly reinforced torpedo tubes.
De Grasse was first released for sale on 9 June 2017 for the EU server and 19 June 2017 for the NA server.

Player Opinion

Performance

Warning: The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.

De Grasse is a premium Tier VI French cruiser that is a development of the La Galissonnière class. Both ships feature triple 152mm turrets in an AB-X configuration firing identical shells, though De Grasse has a slightly longer range. Given how quickly she puts shells downrange and the fire chance on her high explosive rounds, De Grasse is a superb fire-starter and a threat to burn down enemy capital ships at ranges that make her difficult to hit.

Torpedo-wise, De Grasse features triple launchers instead of the twin launchers found on La Galissonnière, and each mount has a longer reload time as a result. De Grasse’s torpedoes are excellent long range harassment and area denial weapons, good for throwing around islands and into caps hoping to hit unsuspecting enemies; however, with only 3 fish on each side, captains shouldn't rely on them to devastate enemy battleships at close range.

Both ships have unimpressive secondaries and weak AA. While De Grasse’s anti-aircraft armament is sufficient for self-defense, her long range AA power is badly lacking even with Defensive AA FireWhile active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased. active; she's not a ship that her teammates can rely on for anti-aircraft support. De Grasse is notably faster than La Galissonnière, but has a longer rudder shift time and a wider turning circle. She retains La Galissonnière's access to the Engine BoostWhile active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage. consumable, while adding access to a Catapult FighterWhile active, a group of fighter planes circles the ship providing protection by attacking incoming enemy aircraft. that La Galissonnière doesn't have.

Captains who are veterans of La Galissonnière will feel right at home playing De Grasse, and will find the slight improvements to her rate of fire and torpedoes to be welcome upgrades.

Pros:

  • Main battery turrets traverse quickly, taking only 15 seconds for a 180° turn.
  • Good main battery range.
  • Torpedoes have a range of 9.0 km with decent 60 knot speed.
  • Wide torpedo launching angles.
  • High top speed which can be increased with the potent French Engine BoostWhile active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage. consumable.

Cons:

  • Deck armor is nearly non-existent; bomb hits from carriers can easily penetrate and land citadel hits.
  • While her reload time is faster than both Émile Bertin and La Galissonnière, it is still slow compared to other cruisers carrying 152mm guns.
  • Almost impossible to land hits at full range due to horrid dispersion.
  • Only three torpedoes per side. Her torps should not be relied on to win fights with battleships.
  • Secondary guns are quite disappointing; their damage output is very low.
  • Anti-aircraft suite is woefully inadequate. Even with Defensive AA FireWhile active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased. and Catapult FighterWhile active, a group of fighter planes circles the ship providing protection by attacking incoming enemy aircraft., barely half of a Tier VI squadron can be shot down.
  • The ship’s rudder can be incapacitated very easily.

Research

As a premium ship, De Grasse has no module upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for De Grasse are as follows:

Commander Skills

Captains should focus their commander skills for De Grasse on protecting her modules and increasing the damage output by her main guns. However, it is not worth investing points in her weak secondaries and AA capabilities (they are 'beyond help').
Last Stand is critical as French cruisers are prone to steering damage.

Consumables

De Grasse can equip the following consumables:

Hydroacoustic Search is recommended to increase De Grasse's anti-DD capabilities.

Note that the Fighter is in the fourth slot while other aircraft equipped French cruisers have them in the third slot.

Camouflage

As a premium ship, De Grasse comes with Default permanent camouflage and a set of permanent combat bonuses.

Signals

Like other French cruisers, De Grasse benefits significantly from signal flags that increase HE fire chance, for example Victor Lima (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +4% chance of causing flooding.). Juliet Charlie (-100% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.) should be used to eliminate the increased risk of detonation from mounting India X-Ray (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm. / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm.). November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.) reduces the cool-down timer for consumables which is especially useful for the potent engine boost consumable. Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) is also highly recommended to increase the ship’s top speed.
