Japanese cruiser Chikuma (1938) : ウィキペディア英語版
Japanese cruiser Chikuma (1938)

was the second and last vessel in the of heavy cruisers in the Imperial Japanese Navy. The ship was named after the Chikuma River, in Nagano prefecture of Japan. Entering service in 1939, ''Chikuma'' saw battle during World War II in the Pacific. She was scuttled on 25 October 1944 after the Battle off Samar.
== Background ==
''Chikuma'' was designed for long-range scouting missions and had a large seaplane capacity. She was extensively employed during World War II in conjunction with an aircraft carrier task force, or as part of a cruiser squadron with her sister ship, .
The ''Tone''-class cruisers were originally envisaged as the 5th and 6th vessels in the . However, by the time construction began, serious weaknesses in the ''Mogami''-class hull design had become clear following the Fourth Fleet Incident in 1935. As Japan no longer was obligated to abide by the limitations of the London Naval Treaty, a new design was created and new means of construction were utilized. Though the external dimensions were close to the ''Mogami'' class, the design was quite different, with all the main battery of guns placed forward of the bridge, reserving the entire stern area as a large sea plane hangar. Unlike the United States Navy, the Japanese did not have a dual role attack/scout aircraft. No reconnaissance units were assigned to the Japanese carriers, and little emphasis was placed on this aspect of carrier warfare. Instead the Japanese reserved all of their carrier aircraft for attack roles. Reconnaissance was left up to float planes carried by cruisers. ''Chikuma'' was intended to provide the long range scout planes needed for their carrier Air Fleets.
