Item description from seller

58 pages. Illustrations (some with color). Warships Number 25. Special with 8 Extra Pages. At the beginning of World War II, the Imperial Japanese Navy operated a light cruiser force of 20 ships, and added another five during the course of the war. These fast ships, carrying seaplanes and heavy torpedo armament, generally were used as flagships for destroyer flotillas and submarine squadrons. Of these, nine were sunk by U.S. or British submarines, 11 were sunk by U.S. aircraft, two were sunk by U.S. torpedo boats or destroyers, and three were still afloat at the end of the war. Includes never before published photos! Nagara was the lead ship of her class of light cruiser in the Imperial Japanese Navy. She was named after the Nagara River in the Ch bu region of Japan. The Nagara-class vessels were essentially identical to the earlier Kuma-class cruisers, using the same hull design, powerplant and layout of armament. The main differences were in the design of the bridge, which was raised to allow for an aircraft hangar and launch platform above the No.2 gun in front of the bridge. Another change was the installation of the new, larger Type 93 torpedoes, which required an extension of the main deck. All vessels in the class were modified extensively during their operational lives, with no two vessels modified in the same way.
