【 Packing Ten 20.3cm Guns 】 The
Mogami-class was designed in 1931 as 8,500-ton light cruisers armed
with five triple 15.5cm gun turrets, and the lead ship of the class, the
Mogami, was completed in July 1935. She was rearmed with twin 20.3cm
gun turrets in 1939 and it was in this configuration that she entered
the war. She and her three sister ships formed the Japanese Second
Fleets's Cruiser Division 7 and were assigned to support the landings at
Malaya. During the Battle of Sunda Strait in March 1942, Mogami and her
sister ship Mikuma sank the heavy cruiser USS Houston and light cruiser
HMAS Perth. Following extensive damage suffered at the Battle of
Midway, her stern was dramatically modified to carry reconnaissance
floatplanes in an effort to enhance the fleet's scouting capabilities.
She took part in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944, where she was
severely damaged by U.S. carrier aircraft and had to be scuttled by
friendly forces.
