Chikuma II — Japan · Tier IX · Cruiser

This Tone-class heavy cruiser represents an advancement from the Mogami class. Notably, all four main battery turrets are situated on the ship's bow, a distinctive feature of this series. Designed for extended-range reconnaissance, escort duties, and supporting aircraft carrier formations, this warship boasts an augmented cruising range and carries an onboard air group. Throughout World War II, Chikuma took part in most major operations conducted by the Japanese Navy. She was eventually sunk during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944.
