Historical Description and Application:

IJN Mikuma was the second Mogami-class ship in the Imperial Japanese Navy. She entered service in the 1930s and was extensively used in the Pacific during World War II, including in the Battle of Midway in 1942. Mikuma was distinguished by her modern design: overall length of 201.6 m, main armament of 5 twin 203 mm turrets, particularly strong anti-aircraft artillery, and floatplanes.

The ship sank in June 1942 after an attack by American aircraft, as part of the Japanese force covering the invasion of Midway. Mikuma remains one of the most significant symbols of the strength and downfall of the Japanese navy in the early stages of the Pacific War.
