Japanese cruiser Ōyodo : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese cruiser Ōyodo
, was a light cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), completed during World War II, and was the only ship of her class completed before the end of the war.〔 page 111-112〕 As was the practice with IJN light cruisers, she was named after a river, in this case the Ōyodo River in Kyūshū, Japan. Intended as a command vessel for submarine operations, she was used for a variety of missions, and became the flagship of the Combined Fleet before being sunk by American aircraft at Kure, Hiroshima in July 1945. ==Background== The Imperial Japanese Navy concept of submarine warfare was to use long-range submarines in squadrons (''sentai'') to attack enemy units at extended ranges. These submarines would be coordinated by a cruiser, which would use reconnaissance aircraft to provide targeting information. Originally, it was intended that the s would be able to serve in this role, but proved unsatisfactory. By the late 1930s, the Japanese Navy had defined the need for seven cruisers to support its seven submarine squadrons. After several design iterations, funding for the first two vessels was approved under the 1939 4th Replenishment Program, of which only one, ''Ōyodo'', was laid down; the second ship was to be named ''Niyodo''. Immediately after ''Ōyodo'' was completed, all available shipbuilding resources at the Kure Naval Arsenal were diverted to build more aircraft carriers.〔Stille, '' Imperial Japanese Navy Light Cruisers 1941-45 '', pages 39-44;〕
