In 1914, the Japanese government unofficially declared the 8-8 program, which would be in accord with Japan's interests in the Far East. As it's named, the 8-8 program was a plan to build a fleet consisting of eight battleships and eight battlecruisers, and the lifespan of the capital ships being eight years. However, due to Japan's lack of financial and industrial power at the time, the plan was reduced to the 8-4 in 1917. Be that as it may, as the years passed along, Japan's financial and industrial power grew and became sufficient that by 1920, the 8-8 program was restarted. In response to the US refusing to ratify the Treaty of Versailles of World War I, the Japanese began their naval arms race with the US. | In 1914, the Japanese government unofficially declared the 8-8 program, which would be in accord with Japan's interests in the Far East.

Due to the idea of making the ship as light as possible, the armor would be incorporated into the belt armor at 38 mm thick and the deck armor 28 mm, which was far better than earlier 5,000-ton cruiser designs. The engine was designed similarly to a destroyer, with only one smokestack, to reduce overall length and save deck space, and eight boilers feeding into three turbines- this gave ''Yūbari'' the desired speed of 35 knots. Additionally, she was originally outfitted with 3x2 14cm/50 3rd Year Type naval guns, but in her 1944 refit, the A position main battery turret (front-most turret) was replaced by a 120mm AA gun. As such, she is seen in-game with the 1944 outfit. | |

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.
Yūbari was first sold in pre-order bundles in spring of 2015. She is currently (0.10.1) available for cash, Coal, or Doubloons.

Player Opinion
Performance
Tier IV Japanese light cruiser Yūbari is an interesting departure from other cruisers at tier. She has an okay health pool, though not nearly as good as Tier III Katori. She has the same slow turrets of all IJN low-tier cruisers, and at Tier IV the 140mm rifles do not show up well against the better armored ships at the tier. Consider them adequate and lament that she has only four rifles. The armament that would shine if it could is her 610mm torpedoes that are faster and much harder hitting than older models. Unfortunately, with a 6km range, only two tubes per side, and narrow firing angles, they are dangerous to employ offensively. To offset this, though, Yūbari has the lowest detectability range of all Tier IV cruisers: 9.6km.
Yūbari can equip the legendary Aiming Systems Modification 0 — one of only three ships that can do so[1] — for large buffs to all main and secondary armament (except AA).
A surprising feature of the ship is Yūbari's anti-aircraft capability. While it can hardly be said to be "good" it is the best of any Tier IV cruiser save Giussano, and better than most Tier Vs. In addition to her base AA firepower, she equips Defensive AA Fire for a couple of extra punches. She is among the fastest and most maneuverable of the Tier IV cruisers — good for dodging.
Yūbari can be played as a gunship, but that is not her main strength. She plays more like an IJN torpedo destroyer without a smoke generator. Read the situation and employ the appropriate weapon and you will find in her a good deal of fun.Pros:
- Premium experience, credit-earning, and commander training.
- Fast, hard hitting torpedoes.
- Excellent detection range.
- Destroyer-like rudder shift time and mobility.
- The AA suite is remarkably good for a Tier IV cruiser.
- Lowest tier ship in the game to have access to the Defensive AA Fire consumable.
Cons:
- 4,000-6,000 less HP than most same-tier cruisers.
- Mediocre gun performance (slow traverse, high arc, low DPM, and penetration).
- Only 2 turrets (four rifles).
- Very narrow torpedo launch angle.
- Little armor and fragile modules, similar to a destroyer with a citadel.
- Large and unarmored citadel.
- Defensive AA Fire consumable only has two charges (three with Superintendent skill).

Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Yūbari are as follows:
- Slot 1: Aiming Systems Modification 0 greatly improves her armament (except AA).
- Slot 2: Engine Room Protection since her engine is particularly vulnerable to being disabled.
Commander Skills
The skill recommendations here are particular to Yūbari. When used as a trainer, shills should be chosen with a view to the ship on which tho commander will ultimately be specialized.

Consumables
Yūbari equips the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Defensive AA Fire
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.
Signals
Yūbari captains should mount the standard flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. To improve upon the ship's armaments, India X-Ray (), Victor Lima (), and Juliet Whiskey Unaone () flags are recommended to increase the fire chance and flooding chances respectively. To improve the ship’s survivability, captains should mount November Foxtrot () and India Yankee () flags. Sierra Mike () flags are recommended to increase the ship’s already high top speed. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to improve the ship’s economic gains per battle.
