+ | A heavy cruiser of the "Fleet of Fog". Modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 2nd ''[[Myoko]]''-class cruiser, ''Nachi''. Harnessing an exceptional reconnaissance ability, she can track ''I-401'' even during her silent runs. In combat, she acts as a spotter; calculating data for ''[[Myoko]]''’s long-range engagements. Her Mental Model "Nachi" acts as "Treasurer" under ''[[Ship:ARP Hiei|Hiei]]''’s "Student Council of the Fog". Having a rather placid personality, she is often swayed by her energetic colleague, ''Ashigara''. This warship has been specially designed for World of Warships, and is modeled after Nachi as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA- Cadenza". | |||

? | Nachi is a powerful being in | + | ''Nachi'' is a powerful being in "Arpeggio of Blue Steel" manga and its ''Ars Nova'' anime adaptation, with enormous speed, numerous matter annihilating weapons, incredible information gathering capabilities, and a protective field that is impenetrable to any weapon developed by humankind. However, so the game does not turn into "World of ARP Ships" with a few insignificant human targets cowering in the background, the developers have declined to provide her with her true complement of abilities and weaponry. ''ARP Nachi' performs exactly like the standard ''[[Myoko]]'' in the game (but without the ability to equip camouflage), and that means that she shares the same play style as regular ''Myoko''. You can refer to the article on ''[[Myoko]]'' for her performance appraisal. | |

? | Her armor is quite weak, and her large citadel makes her vulnerable to AP shells. A well landed battleship salvo can potentially remove the majority of her health, and while just carelessly charging into the heat of battle is not recommended for any cruiser, Nachi should be especially careful because of her squishiness (and because she lacks the aforementioned impenetrable protective barrier). But she also has the powerful 203mm guns that are standard for the Japanese heavy cruisers with low shell arcs, reasonable AP and powerful HE with high fire chance, giving her a powerful offense that can devastate cruisers and burn down battleships. She receives the formidable 61cm torpedo with long range and potent warheads (but which are unfortunately neither homing, supercavitating, nor equipped with corrosive warheads) in two triple mounts on each side, though their rearward arc can limit their offensive effectiveness. Her high speed and low detection range can be exploited to disengage when the fighting becomes hotter than you would like. While she has a reasonable AA complement and can function as an effective AA support ship when fitted with the right Equipment and Skills, she is better utilized as an offensive vessel, operating with the fleet or in cruiser squadrons to destroy cruisers and destroyers and harass battleships. ARP Nachi will serve well, and under the command of a decent captain can be a powerful influence on the battlefield. | + | Her armor is quite weak, and her large citadel makes her vulnerable to AP shells.

In 2054, a change became across the Fleet of Fog. The ships of the Fog, impersonal and faceless, started developing "Mental Models", human avatars capable of thinking in ways similar to human beings, with personalities unique to each Mental Model. One of these was the I-401, or, Iona, who made contact with Gunzō Chihaya to become his ship. Gunzō, with Iona and a small band of friends who now crew the I-401, as Blue Steel now seek to create a balance to this lopsided status quo with the Fleet of Fog, to bring a peace where humanity and the Fleet of Fog can happily coexist together. | In 2054, a change became across the Fleet of Fog.

Although incomplete, she was commissioned on 26 November 1928 and taken to Yokosuka to be examined by Emperor Hirohito as part of the Coronary Naval Review. ''Nachi'' returned to Kure in December where she was completed and made ready for service by April 1929. Once completed, ''Nachi'' and her three sister ships were assigned to the Sasebo Naval District and spent the early 1930’s conducting training and transport operations. From 1933 to 1937, ''Nachi'' underwent two modernizations and received numerous upgrades to her torpedo and secondary armament as well as additional anti-aircraft weapons. | |
In December 1941, ''Nachi'' and ''Myoko'', now assigned to the 3rd Fleet, departed from Palau to conduct shore bombardment for the planned invasion of the southern Philippine Islands. ''Nachi'' and ''Myoko'' were later sent to support the invasion of Davao and Jolo islands. While anchored at Davao, ''Myoko'' was hit by a single bomb from land based aircraft and ''Nachi'' was subsequently appointed as flagship while ''Myoko'' returned to Japan for repairs. | In December 1941, ''Nachi'' and ''Myoko'', now assigned to the 3rd Fleet, departed from Palau to conduct shore bombardment for the planned invasion of the southern Philippine Islands.

''Nachi'' remained in Japanese waters for the remainder of 1943 and the first half of 1944. During this time, she again had her anti-aircraft armament increased. In October 1944, ''Nachi'' set sail for the Philippines and accompanied the battleships ''[[Ship:Fuso|Fuso]]'' and ''Yamashiro'' at the Battle of Surigao Strait. After the battle, the ship collided with the heavy cruiser ''[[Ship:Mogami|Mogami]]'' and was taken to Manila for emergency repairs. On 29 October, while still under repair, ''Nachi'' was attacked by American carrier based aircraft. A single bomb hit the ship during the attack which further set back her return to service. On 5 November, ''Nachi'' again came under attack from American strike aircraft. The ship sustained multiple bomb and torpedo hits which destroyed her bow and stern. Within hours, the ship sank in the waters off Corregidor Island. | ''Nachi'' remained in Japanese waters for the remainder of 1943 and the first half of 1944.

ARP Nachi — Japanese special premium Tier VII cruiser.
A heavy cruiser of the "Fleet of Fog". Modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 2nd Myoko-class cruiser, Nachi. Harnessing an exceptional reconnaissance ability, she can track I-401 even during her silent runs. In combat, she acts as a spotter; calculating data for Myoko’s long-range engagements. Her Mental Model "Nachi" acts as "Treasurer" under Hiei’s "Student Council of the Fog". Having a rather placid personality, she is often swayed by her energetic colleague, Ashigara. This warship has been specially designed for World of Warships, and is modeled after Nachi as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA- Cadenza".

Player Opinion
Performance
Nachi is a powerful being in "Arpeggio of Blue Steel" manga and its Ars Nova anime adaptation, with enormous speed, numerous matter annihilating weapons, incredible information gathering capabilities, and a protective field that is impenetrable to any weapon developed by humankind. However, so the game does not turn into "World of ARP Ships" with a few insignificant human targets cowering in the background, the developers have declined to provide her with her true complement of abilities and weaponry. ARP Nachi' performs exactly like the standard Myoko in the game (but without the ability to equip camouflage), and that means that she shares the same play style as regular Myoko. You can refer to the article on Myoko for her performance appraisal.
Her armor is quite weak, and her large citadel makes her vulnerable to AP shells. A well landed battleship salvo can potentially remove the majority of her health, and while just carelessly charging into the heat of battle is not recommended for any cruiser, Nachi should be especially careful because of her squishiness (and because she lacks the aforementioned impenetrable protective barrier). But she also has the powerful 203mm guns that are standard for the Japanese heavy cruisers with low shell arcs, reasonable AP and powerful HE with high fire chance, giving her a powerful offense that can devastate cruisers and burn down battleships. She receives the formidable 61cm torpedo with long range and potent warheads (but which are unfortunately neither homing, supercavitating, nor equipped with corrosive warheads) in two triple mounts on each side, though their rearward arc can limit their offensive effectiveness. Her high speed and low detection range can be exploited to disengage when the fighting becomes hotter than you would like. While she has a reasonable AA complement and can function as an effective AA support ship when fitted with the right Equipment and Skills, she is better utilized as an offensive vessel, operating with the fleet or in cruiser squadrons to destroy cruisers and destroyers and harass battleships. ARP Nachi will serve well, and under the command of a decent captain can be a powerful influence on the battlefield.Pros:
- All the pros of the standard Myoko.
- Does not take up standard port slots.
- No modules to research as she is fully upgraded.
- Visible to other players who have enabled the "Arpeggio" filter in their ship carousel.
- Comes with free Captain's Skills Points (depending on the event).
- Skills can be customized for her, as captain is personalized for this ship.
- Special unique announcer (voiced by her voice actor from the Ars Nova series).
Cons:
- All the cons of the standard Myoko.
- Cannot mount functional camouflage.
- Captain cannot be transferred to ships of other nations.
- Voice notifications are in Japanese.
- Does not come with overwhelming firepower, speed, submergence, Klein field, or advanced sonar abilities of Nachi in Ars Nova.
Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
Main Armament Modification 1 should be fitted in Upgrade Slot 1 to make her turrets more resilient, while Steering Gears Modification 1 in Upgrade Slot 4 to make her less likely to lose her steering; her rudder is quite vulnerable to being knocked out. Steering Gears Modification 2 is the top pick for Upgrade Slot 5. Upgrade Slot 2 offers a couple of useful options: AA Guns Modification 2 for players who are concerned about enemy carriers, or Main Battery Modification 2 for captains who do not.
Commander Skills
For Commander Skills, Tier 2's Expert Marksman is recommended to improve her slow turret rotation, while Tier 5's Concealment Expert is similarly recommended for tactical flexibility.
