Cleveland — American Tier VIII cruiser.
With the onset of World War II, the restrictions imposed by treaties were no longer applicable, allowing for the development of cruisers without limitations. The new project, based on the Helena class, featured improved anti-aircraft armament while sacrificing one main battery turret. The ship's hull was widened to accommodate the increased weight and preserve stability. USS Cleveland participated in the landing of troops in North Africa, then was transferred to the Pacific Theater of Operations, where she took part in numerous battles. Over the course of World War II, the ship was awarded 13 battle stars.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Citadel armor can easily withstand calibers 155mm and below when broadside.
- Reliable armor.
- Excellent AA suite.
- Good rate of fire.
- Good shell arcs for shooting over islands.
- Decent fire chance which can be upgraded to be comparable to that of Japanese cruisers (15%).
- Decent maneuverability.
Cons:
- Large profile (high detection).
- Long shell hang time, leading fast ships is challenging at the edge of her range.
- Fairly easy to catch on fire.
- AA guns easily knocked out.
- Turrets are vulnerable to higher-caliber armor piercing rounds.
Research
Quickly research and upgrade to the Mk 6 mod 2 fire control system module in order to maximize her firing range. Then grab the B hull and upgrade the 152mm guns for better rate of fire. While the turrets become slower, it is much more valuable to have the extra 1.5 RPM.
