Originally ordered under the 1917 8-4 program, ''Yūbari'' was constructed as the main base for the upcoming new and 'modern' Japanese cruiser design of its time. The famous Japanese naval architect Yuzuru Hiraga oversaw her construction, and would later on incorporate his ideas (of weight reduction as well as outfitting ships with maximum firepower possible into a given displacement) into the later cruisers, such as [[Ship:Furutaka|''Furutaka'']]. | Originally ordered under the 1917 8-4 program, ''Yūbari'' was constructed as the main base for the upcoming new and 'modern' Japanese cruiser design of its time.

Yūbari — Japanese special premium Tier IV cruiser.
An experimental light cruiser based on an idea to create a fast warship carrying the most powerful armament available while having minimum displacement. She was the first in the Imperial Japanese Navy to be equipped with 610 mm torpedo tubes. By the end of her time in service, Yūbari was reinforced with numerous AA guns.

Player Opinion
Performance
First available available during the World of Warships Closed Beta Test as a pre-order, Yūbari is a fairly mediocre Japanese cruiser for Tier IV. She compliments her slow-turning turrets with a pair of twin-tube torpedo launchers with a 6km range. Compared to all of her Tier IV counterparts, Yūbari has the lowest detectability range of all: just under 10km. Where Yūbari really lacks, however, are her guns. With only 140mm diameter the shells are quite small and can have a hard time penetrating other cruisers.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Yubari from the NA forumsPros:
- Premium experience, credit-earning, and commander training.
- Excellent detection range.
- Lowest tier ship in the game to have access to the Defensive AA Fire consumable.
- Destroyer like rudder shift time and mobility.
- Fast, hard hitting torpedoes.
Cons:
- The AA suite is decent, but not outstanding.
- Defensive AA Fire consumable only has one use (two with premium).
- Mediocre gun performance (slow traverse, high arc, low DPM and penetration).
- Only 2 turrets (losing one will lead to a 90 degree blind spot where you have no firepower and 50% loss in damage output).
- Very little armor and fragile modules, similar to a destroyer.
- Large and unarmored citadel.
- 6000 less HP than same-tier cruisers (again, almost destroyer level).
- Very narrow torpedo launch angle.
- Torpedoes lack the range of the Tier III Tenryu and Tier IV Kuma.

Camouflage
As a premium ship, Yūbari comes included with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
