Fiji — British Tier VII cruiser.

The British Navy required light cruisers, so the Town class was realigned. The lead cruiser of the project—HMS Fiji—entered service in 1940. During her first operation, the ship was hit by a torpedo from a German submarine and was subsequently sent for repairs. In 1941, she was transferred to Force H in Gibraltar and then to the Mediterranean Fleet. In May 1941, she helped defend Crete from the landing of German troops. On May 22, Fiji was hit by two German bombers and sank.

If Tier VI's Leander is considered "settling in" to the back half of the British cruiser line, then the best advice for captains embarking aboard Tier VII's Fiji for the first time should be: buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Fiji maintains the branch's theme of 152mm main battery rifles, but moves up to mounting twelve of them in four triple-barrel turrets. As such, she is considerably up-gunned from Leander, and successors Edinburgh and Neptune boast identical configurations. At eight rounds per minute (a 7.5 second reload time), her main battery boasts the best rate of fire of all Tier VII cruisers, and she retains the 8.0 km maximum torpedo range of Leander’s upgraded torpedoes. Her unique mix of main battery and longer range torpedoes allow Fiji to hang in fights with equal-tier cruisers of other nations, and maintains her as a threat to enemy destroyers who wander too close.

First-time Fiji captains may think that she feels big for a light cruiser, and they're right. She has an increased beam over Leander, which allowed her designers to fit triple-barreled turrets on her hull. There's a subsequent increase to her detection radius, but she retains most of Leander’s handling characteristics; Fiji’s turning circle is tighter, and her rudder shift is — for all intents and purposes — the same. Her anti-aircraft suite is satisfactory if unremarkable, and is approximately on par with German counterpart Yorck.

Just like Leander, Fiji works best with friendly ships around. She's ideal for backing up allied destroyers, but is ill-equipped to go toe-to-toe with enemy battleships. If kept in combat where she is able to maximize her strengths against enemy cruisers and destroyers, she is an exceptional ship in the hands of the right captain.

Good main battery range (15.3 km fully upgraded).
Highly effective against enemy cruisers and destroyers.
Retains access to then Repair Party consumable.
Excellent main battery guns in a user-friendly layout.
Below average detection range (i.e. good stealth).
Excellent handling characteristics; quick rudder shift and tight turning circle.

Even lighter armor than Leander; captains must make intelligent use of her consumables to get the most out of Fiji. She will evaporate under concentrated enemy fire.
Largely ineffective against enemy battleships.
Anti-aircraft suite is merely average.
Though her maximum range is respectable, her shell velocity drops off sharply and makes landing hits difficult past medium range.

Fiji’s stock range isn't bad for her guns; what she needs most is increased survivability. Invest experience points into Hull (B) first, then go for the Fire Control Systems module. The Torpedo module upgrade is nothing more than a small bump to her torpedo damage, and can be left for last or skipped entirely.

Most Fiji captains will equip Main Armaments Modification 1 in Upgrade Slot 1, Damage Control System Modification 1 in Upgrade Slot 4, and Steering Gear Modification 2 in Upgrade Slot 5. Only Upgrade Slot 2 offers real options: either AA Guns Modification 2 or Aiming Systems Modification 1. Either is a worthwhile upgrade, and is captain's choice.

Fiji’s anti-aircraft suite finally provides a decent return for captains who want to invest in Basic Firing Training instead of Basics of Survivability at Tier 1. Tier 2's best skill remains Expert Marksman. Superintendent is recommended at Tier 3 given how dependent Fiji’s performance is on effective use of her consumables. Tier 4 provides an interesting choice between Survivability Expert, Advanced Firing Training, and Manual Fire Control for AA Armament; Survivability Expert seems like a weak choice, but does buff Fiji’s Repair Party heal as well. Manual Fire Control for AA Armament is a more attractive skill for subsequent ships in the line and is worth considering if captains intend to move the commander to the next ship. Tier 5's best choice remains Concealment Expert.

Though given the choice between Smoke Generator, Spotting Aircraft, and Catapult Fighter, Fiji captains will want to stick with Smoke Generator given how lightly armored she is. Premium consumables are highly recommended across the board. Players looking to conserve credits (or doubloons) should stick with non-premium Hydroacoustic Search, but are encouraged to equip both Damage Control Party II and Repair Party II.

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Fiji with Type 17 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Many of the enemy cruisers Fiji will run across in her games fire primarily high-explosive shells (such as Myoko and Shchors), so equipping the India Yankee signal flag is a good idea if it is available for use. Because she has Repair Party, it's also recommended to mount India Delta improve her survivability. Equal Speed Charlie London can be helpful in picking up useful module upgrades faster, such as the Fire Control System module (Mk VII mod. 2), which gives Fiji decent range at her tier.

-If the Leander is you sinking in your seat within the British cruiser line, then Fiji practically straps you in the seat with a seatbelt. A fairly big light cruiser, the Fiji takes her place as a reliable ship within her tier as she continues what you have learned with Leander and the previous light cruisers and applies them to herself with improved specs. It is worth noting that despite the AB-XY turret layout she achieved from her predecessor Leander, her beam's length allows her to have triple mount turrets with the same AB-XY layout and fairly fast shells in order to bead destroyers and other ships fairly quickly. It is rather interesting to say the least that Fiji can content with the heavy cruisers Myoko, Pensacola and Yorck on the same footing in terms of gunnery and can give her cruiser colleague the Town class Belfast a good match. In order, there can be said as nothing spectacular about Fiji apart from gaining a better AA suite, improved torpedoes, triple mount turrets and fairly improved guns, but her "bland" ergonomics yet very workable assets define the notion of "it doesnt matter if it looks bad, so long as its reliable and get things done, then it is, by all means, never a bad thing".
+If Tier VI's ''[[Leander]]'' is considered "settling in" to the back half of the British cruiser line, then the best advice for captains embarking aboard Tier VII's ''Fiji'' for the first time should be: buckle up and enjoy the ride.
-Independent action such as operating alone must only be done in the mid-game stages as doing so in Fiji is pretty much inadvisable and generally not recommended unlike in Leander where you can still attain the initiative of potentially rattling the enemy upon opening fire. All assets can be said as a "repeat" aboard the Fiji but with the additional broadside weight due to the triple mount turrets and as aforementioned, this cruiser straps you in your seat securely for the better parts of Her Majesty's cruisers.
