	Encyclopedia: Japanese cruiser Oyodo
		Oyodo (Japanese:å¤§æ·, named after a river in Japan, literally means "big stagnant water") was a light cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the only ship of her class.
		Her design was basically an improved version of the Agano-class cruisers, though while the same general hull form as Agano was adopted, with flush deck and bulbous bow, the armament differed both in layout and weapons, and the armour protection scheme was reduced.
		During this movement the cruiser was one of the escorts of the battleship Musashi when the latter was torpedoed and damaged by the US submarine Tunny.

	U.S. Cruisers
		The cruiser is, per definition, the smallest ocean-going warship capable of independent operations, meaning operations in which the cruiser is the largest capital ship.
		Probably triggered by both the Japanese Mogami, from which the main armament was gleaned, and the Takao class, which helped with the turret arrangement, these ships carried fifteen 155mm in five triple turrets, two each superfiring fore and aft and a third forward, between the bridge and the superfiring gun turret, facing aft.
		Those who have stated that the US cruisers were at a disadvantage without them, and that their removement was a great failure, seem not to understand the situation that the US was to find in battle.

	LEYTE GULF - The Battle of Surigao Strait (D Llewellyn James)
		The battleships and cruisers of Oldendorf's force were drawn up across the northern end of Surigao Strait, at the southern entrance to Leyte Gulf, roughly between Hibuson Island and Leyte.
		The Japanese battleship directed her main battery fire at the enemy cruisers, while her secondary battery - as we have seen - fired at the retiring torpedo squadrons; but neither one nor the other had any effect.
		The Japanese cruiser received several more direct hits, but she was able to continue her retirement, since Oldendorf withdrew his ships through concern about suspect contacts further to the north.

	Battle of Midway: 4-7 June 1942
		An American carrier raid on Japanese shipping at Lae and Salamaua on the 10th, along with a previously unsuccessful attempt to attack Rabaul on 20 February, had demonstrated to Commander in Chief, Fourth Fleet (Admiral Shigeyoshi Inouye), that Japanese were not assured of air superiority in the region.
		Although the Japanese could not visually confirm the departure of Task Forces 16 and 17 from Pearl Harbor, American preparations to defend Midway were on the verge of discovery anyway.
		Japanese COMINT stations not only learned of carrier movements in and out of Pearl Harbor, simply by listening to increased air-ground radio chatter, but traffic analysis of "Urgent" American radio messages coming out of Pearl Harbor suggested at least one Task Force was at sea.

		As the Japanese sent the major portion of their remaining combatant fleet south in a desperate attempt to break up the landings, DENVER's group took station in Surigao Strait on 24 October to prevent the passage of the Japanese Southern Force into Leyte Gulf.
		Gallant attacks were made by motor torpedo boats and destroyers stationed in advance of the battle line, and battleship YAMASHIRO, heavy cruiser MOGAMI, and destroyer SHIGURE were all that remained of the Japanese ships when DENVER and the others of the battle line opened fire at 0351.
		MOGAMI was later sunk by aircraft, and SHIGURE was the sole survivor of the mighty fleet which had sailed forth for this phase of the decisive Battle for Leyte Gulf.
