	Japanese Heavy Cruiser Takao
		The heavy cruiser Takao was one of the mammoth Japanese "treaty cruisers" (or "A" class cruisers) built theoretically to the limits of the Washington Naval Treaty--10,000 tons but modified during construction to reflect the London Naval Treaty of 1930 and eventually displacing nearly 15,000 tons.
		Takao itself was primarily support for the fast carrier and amphibious assault units that expanded Japanese territory before May 1942; afterwards, she and her three sisters (Chokai, Maya, and Atago) were primarily retained as carrier escorts or as a raiding group.
		Takao was in fact close in many ways to being a capital ship; although she only carried a cruiser's guns, the torpedo tubes, displacement, and speed were closer to being worthy of a battlecruiser.

		Japanese heavy cruiser Takao, damaged by torpedoes from USS Darter (SS-227) on October 23, 1944.
		As the XE-3 made her escape down the Straight, the Takao was transformed by the limpet mines into a useless wreck resting on the seabed.
		He experienced great difficulty in placing his limpets on the bottom of the cruiser owing to both the foul state of the bottom and to the pronounced slope upon which the limpets would not hold.

	Axis History Factbook: Heavy Cruiser Takao (Japan)
		Takao was damaged on 23 Oct 1944 by two torpedoes from the U.S. submarine Darter (SS-227) in the Palawan Passage, Philippines.
		She was towed to Singapore and, un-repaired, surrendered there at the end of the war (she had been further damaged by British midget submarines on 31 July 1945).
		The Takao was scuttled in the Straits of Malacca on 27 Oct 1946.

		Apart from the U.S. heavy cruisers of the Baltimore Class and the German “Prinz Eugen”, they were probably the most powerful heavy cruisers of the WWII.
		The Takao Class heavy cruisers can be considered as the highest point reached by the Japanese naval industry on this kind of vessels.
		I decided to build the IJN heavy cruiser Maya because she was the only cruiser of the Takao Class to be converted as an A.A. cruiser, after the 5 November 1943 damage suffered during a raid by USS Saratoga aircraft, at Rabaul IJN naval base.

	Takao, Imperial Japanese Navy Heavy Cruiser : Skywave 1:700th Model
		The Takao Class Heavy Cruisers were the largest of the heavy cruisers built for the Japanese Navy.
		They were built in response to the heavy cruisers under construction by the United States and Great Britain during the 1920's.
		On February 5, 1945, TAKAO fell victim to a British X-craft raid which blew a 21 foot hole in her side and caused extensive flooding.

		Such mounts were usually sponsoned out from the side of the ship, with a heavy tapering cylindrical support structure beneath the mount.
		However, both heavy and light AA weapons, and their associated fire-control equipment, were fully enclosed when mounted on the starboard quarter of the ship, in order to protect the crew from boiler gases emanating from the downswept funnel.
		Such nets were suspended from heavy steel arms along the sides of the flight deck.

		They attacked while the enemy was unable to alter course appreciably, and in brilliant pre-dawn submerged attacks, sank the heavy cruisers Atago and Maya, and so severely damaged the heavy cruiser Takao that she was useless for the rest of the war.
		Darter's third patrol was again in the eastern Celebes Sea, and she sank the large minelayer Tsugaru on June 29, 1944.
		She was credited with sinking the heavy cruiser Atago and damaging the heavy cruiser Takao on the night of October 23, 1944, shortly before she stranded.

		Lieutenant Fraser commanded HM Midget Submarine XE-3 in her successful attack on the Japanese heavy cruiser Takao (9,850 tons) at her moorings in Johore Strait, Singapore, on 31 July 1945.
		The target was aground, or nearly aground, both fore and aft, and only under the midships portion was there sufficient water for XE-3 to place herself under the cruiser.
		For forty minutes she pushed her way along the sea bed until finally Lieutenant Fraser managed to force her right under the centre of the cruiser.

		This effort on the cruiser Takao is probably his best effort, with more information than the Yamato book (of course, the Yamato was sunk and information on her is sparse-Takao survived the war, albeit in a damaged state) and none of the editing flaws which marred his latest book on the Fuso.
		The drawings are worth the price of the book and contain enough information for the modeler to scratchbuild or improve the only Takao model on the market, which is a pretty bad one.
		This book has everthing; from profiles of the ship as it appeared in its career, down to the rivet patterns used to assemble the hull, all in scaled drawings.

		The Takao class of Japanese heavy cruisers was approved in the 1927—31 building programme, and the Takao was the first of four vessels launched between May 1930 and April 1931.
		These were genuinely aggressive ships, being fast, heavily armed with both guns and torpedos, and well-protected.
		They saw much action in the Pacific War between 1941 and 1945, but Takao, having survived a torpedo attack during the Leyte Gulf battle preliminaries, was sunk by a British midget submarine in Singapore Harbour.
