Myoko-class Heavy Cruiser

CountryJapan

Contributor: C. Peter Chen

This article refers to the entire Myoko-class; it is not about an individual vessel.

When the Myoko-class cruisers were launched in the late 1920s, they were considered some of the world's most heavily armed cruisers. All four ships served in WW2, with three of them lost before the end of the Pacific War.
