Background

About the ship

The third Mogami-class cruiser to be built was part of a unique series initially designed as light cruisers but later converted into heavy cruisers. Commissioned in 1937 and armed with fifteen 155 mm guns, Suzuya participated in several major World War II campaigns, including the Indian Ocean raid and the Battle of Midway. On October 25, 1944, during the Battle off Samar, Suzuya was attacked by U.S. carrier-based aircraft and sunk.
