Shimanto

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Shimanto — Japanese • Tech Tree • Tier VII • Cruiser.

The development of the Mogami-class cruisers into anti-aircraft defense cruisers, which implied mounting dual-purpose 5.9-inch (150 mm) guns created in 1944 as the main armament. The mounting of these and 3.9-inch (100 mm) AA guns would make it possible to turn these ships into an effective weapon against American deck- and ground-based aviation.
