HIJMS Agano, HIJMS Yahagi, HIJMS Noshiro, HIJMS Sakawa
The first 3 of the class had short and busy lives, being completed in 1942 & 43. Sakawa was finished but never saw service, except as a test target off Bikini Atoll. For RC naval combat, they are fast and reasably roomy for a light cruiser. In big gun combat, she has a potent torpedo salvo to complement her guns armament.
