Famous WW2 Quote
"The raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years."James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy, 23 Feb 1945

A good snapshot in time of the interwar evolution in cruiser design. Note the original main battery layout of 200 mm guns in single mounts, compared with the Aobas in the background with their twin 203 mm turrets, also original. The Furutakas were later modernized to conform.
