Yubari was a light cruiser built between 1922 and 1923 for the Imperial Japanese Navy.
The ship originated as an experimental scout cruiser that would have the combat potential of the standard 5,000 t (4,900 long tons) Japanese light cruisers on a much lighter ship.
Yubari was sunk on 27 April 1944 off Palau by the US submarine Bluegill.
