Japanese cruiser Chōkai : ウィキペディア英語版
Japanese cruiser Chōkai

was a heavy cruiser, armed with ten guns, four guns, eight tubes for the Type 93 torpedo, and assorted anti-aircraft guns. ''Chōkai'' was designed with the Imperial Japanese Navy strategy of the great "Decisive Battle" in mind, and built in 1932 by Mitsubishi's shipyard in Nagasaki. She was sunk in the Battle off Samar in October 1944. ''Chōkai'' was named for Mount Chōkai.
==Operational history==
At the start of the Pacific War, ''Chōkai'' supported the invasion of Malaya and participated in the pursuit of the Royal Navy's battleship Force Z. During January and February 1942, ''Chōkai'' was involved in operations to seize the oil-rich Dutch East Indies and the island of Borneo. Steaming near Cape St. Jacques, ''Chōkai'' struck a reef, sustaining hull damage on 22 February 1942. On 27 February, she reached Singapore for repairs.
After repairs, ''Chōkai'' was once again assigned to a support role in an invasion, this time the landings at Iri, Sumatra, and the invasion of the Andaman Islands and the seizure of Port Blair a few days later. Afterwards, ''Chōkai'' sailed to Mergui, Burma.
On 1 April 1942, the ''Chōkai'' left Mergui to participate in Operation C, a raid on merchant shipping in the Indian Ocean. First, ''Chōkai'' torpedoed and sank the U.S. freighter ''Bienville'', and later on, the British steamship ''Ganges'' on 6 April. With her role in the operation successfully concluded, ''Chōkai'' returned to Yokosuka on 22 April 1942.
