IJN Mogami CA/CV Originally an ten gunned heavy cruiser (after being converted from a 15 gunned light cruiser), Mogami was given a flight deck instead of her two after turrets when she was badly damaged at Rabaul by US carrier aircraft. She could carry eleven Jake scout aircraft but usually carried no more than five.

IJN Kitakami - CL TT, 1941- converted from a 5,500 ton Kuma class light cruiser, Kitakami and her sister ship, Ohi, carried the heaviest torpedo armament ever mounted on a ship. Ten quad 24inch mountings gave these ships unprecedented fire power to use against the USN Battle line in night battle. Converted in 1944 to a kaiten carrier, Kitakami was used as a troop transport toward the end of hostilities.
