Product Description Before the Pacific War began, the United States Navy had an overwhelming military force force. First of all, the United States Navy gradually reduced its forces by submarines and aircraft. Finally, the United States Navy brought the fleet to a decisive battle in waters near Japan.
Ahead of other countries, the United States Navy succeeded in developing the Type 93 oxygen torpedo. This led to the creation of a type of ship called the Heavy 雷装 Ship.
The light cruiser Kuma-type Ooi and Kitakami were selected and underwent a major renovation. They had 40 launchers and 40 torpedoes. There was no chance for them to show their true value.
Both ships were deployed to units in November 1941, just before the war began, but the main role in naval battles had already shifted from battleships to aircraft, and there was no chance for them to show their true value.
Both ships were later deployed as high-speed transport ships and Kaiten-loaded ships, but on July 24, 1945, the war ended because they became unnavigable due to an air raid on Kure Port.
