Japanese cruiser Aoba : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese cruiser Aoba
was the lead ship in the two-vessel of heavy cruisers in the Imperial Japanese Navy. Launched in 1926 and heavily modernized in 1938-40, ''Aoba'' initially served as a patrol craft, largely along the China coast, and saw extensive service during World War II. Repeatedly heavily damaged and repaired, she was finally crippled by bombing and settled on the bottom of shallow Kure harbor in April 1945; two raids in late July reduced her to an unsalvageable hulk. Named after Mount Aoba, a volcano located behind Maizuru, Kyoto, she was formally removed from the Navy List on 20 November 1945, and her wreck scrapped in 1946–47. ==Background and design== ''Aoba'' and her sister ship were originally planned as the third and fourth vessels in the of heavy cruisers. However, design issues with the ''Furutaka'' class resulted in modifications to include double turrets and an aircraft catapult. These modifications created yet more weight to an already top-heavy design, causing stability problems. Nevertheless, ''Aoba'' played an important role in World War II. She displaced 8,300 tons (standard, 9,000 final), was long, and carried a main battery of six 20 cm/50 3rd Year Type naval guns in three double turrets, two forward and one aft.
