Katori-class Light Cruiser

CountryJapan

Contributor: C. Peter Chen

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

The Katori-class light cruisers were designed as training ships, authorized with the 1937 and 1939 Supplementary Naval budget. All three ships built were moved into combat roles during the Pacific War, with two of them sunk by the end of the war.
