These were the largest cruisers in the Japanese fleet, and were intended to form the backbone of a multipurpose long-range strike force. Her sister ships were ATAGO Maya and Chōkai. Launched: May 12, 1930Length: 669′Displacement: 9,850 t (9,690 long tons) (designed standard), 15,490 t (15,250 long tons) (full load)Aircraft carried: 3 floatplanes Fate: Surrendered to British forces on 21 September 1945, then sunk as a target ship on 29 October 1946Speed: 35.5 knots (65.7 km/h) - 34.2 knots (63.3 km/h) -- United States Navy recognition drawings of Takao and AtagoThey were an evolution from the preceding Myoko class, with heavier torpedo armamanent and had an almost BB-like, large bridge structure. Their main gun armament was ten 8-inch (203 mm) guns in twin mounts and they were also armed with sixteen 24 inch Toroedos (carrying more than the Myokos or Mogamis), making the Takaos the most heavily armed cruisers of the IJN. The only flaw was that they were considered top-heavy and thus prone to capsizing, while Turret #3 had a poor firing arc. These two problems were rectified in the follow-up Mogamis; nonetheless the Takaos were considered the best cruisers that the IJN ever built.[cit ALL ITEMS OFFERED AS-IS - There are NO returns -- thanks- - - - SEE MY OTHER EBAY AUCTION ITEMS THIS WEEK - - : - - >MANY OTHER COOL MODELS & OLD TOYS ON EBAY THIS WEEK - - POSTAGE & WINNERS INFO BELOW ! - ( IF POSSIBLE) I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE WINS -- / NOTE PHOTOS MAY BE OFF REGISTER OR HAVE GLARE SPOTS / Please contact me if you have any questions: - - - - - P & H - LOWER 48 ONLY = $ 8.85 AK & HI MAY BE MORE !! - I / / NO P & H - - - to CANADA , NO International Buyers --- ! ) Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
