New Orleans — American Tier VII cruiser.
Compared to her predecessor, the new cruiser had a shorter hull because of the linear arrangement of the power plant. This arrangement allowed for increased thickness of the armor belt at the waterline. USS New Orleans participated in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, then served in the campaign off the Solomon Islands. During the battle off Cape Tassafaronga, a torpedo hit caused an explosion that severed part of her bow. After repairs, the ship participated in the landings on Saipan, in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and the invasion of Okinawa. Over the course of the war, the ship was awarded 17 battle stars.

Player Opinion
Performance
Practically the Pensacola upchucked at the cost of losing a turret, the New Orleans proves her worth as being one of the most solid cruisers at her tier. While she can not match her Japanese counterpart the Mogami in terms of destroyer or cruiser shredding, her guns are sound enough to deal practical damage to her heavy cruiser colleagues and her rate of fire makes her into a sizable asset as well as with her good AA suite.
Pros:
- Faster firing high caliber guns
- Improved response time
- Good ergonomics
- All turrets are now triple mount
Cons:
- What is basically a souped up Pensacola at tier 8
- Loses a turret compared to her predecessor
- Armor must to be angled to be effective
