Ashigara)
The IJN Ashigara (足柄) was the third of the four-member Myoko class of heavy cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy — the other ships of the class being the Myoko (妙高), Nachi (那智), and the Haguro (羽黒). She was named after a mountain on the border or Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures, also known as Mt. Kintoki.
The ships of this class displaced 13300 tons, were 204 metres long, and were capable of 36 knots. They carried one aircraft and their main armament was 10 8-inch guns.
The Ashigara was laid down at the Kawasaki shipyard in Kobe on April 11, 1924, launched on April 22, 1928, and was commissioned into the Imperial Navy on August 20, 1929.
