Famous WW2 Quote
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 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.
