■Product Description
[About the heavy cruiser Suzuya]
Completed as a light cruiser equipped with five 15.5cm triple gun mounts, the Mogami-class cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy were later refitted with 20cm twin gun turrets, transforming them into heavy cruisers. Of the four ships built, Suzuya was the first to enter service, following the lead ship Mogami and the second ship Mikuma. From the outset of construction, thorough measures to improve stability were incorporated into Suzuya, and supplementary materials were added to address the strength deficiencies caused by hull weight reduction, which had been a problem with Mogami and Mikuma. With extensive modifications, the shape of the hull, bridge structure, and smokestacks differed significantly from those of the Mogami and Mikuma. Completed in October 1937, and with the main gun replacement completed in September 1939, the Suzuya sortied to the Malayan landings, the Battle of Batavia, and the Battle of Midway as the Pacific War began. However, in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944, its torpedoes were detonated by an attack from carrier-based aircraft, and it disappeared off the coast of Samar Island. ■Product Specifications
