Yahagi. Japanese Light Cruiser 1942-1945 (TopDrawings)

Yahagi, the second Japanese warship of that name, was the third of the four Agano-class vessels (the other three being Agano, Noshiro and Sakawa). Construction of the Agano-class cruisers was approved by the Japanese parliament (Diet) in March 1939 under the Fourth Naval Armaments Enhancement Program (Dai-Yon-Ji Kaigun Gunbi JÅ«jitsu Keikaku), also known as the â€œFour-in-Circleâ€ Program (Maru Yon Keikaku), or simply Maru 4. Under the terms of the program, the four light cruisers (kei junâ€™yÅkan), also referred to as type B cruisers (otsu-gata junâ€™yÅkan, or simply otsu jun) were officially classed as second-class cruisers (ni-tÅ junâ€™yÅkan), and were to fulfill the role of destroyer squadron flagships. At that time destroyer squadrons (DesRon), called literarily torpedo squadrons (suirai sentai), consisted of four four-ship destroyer divisions (DesDiv, or kuchiku-tai).
