Kano class Light Cruiser

This cruiser design was request by a person who wanted an 1944/45 hypothetical Japanese Cleveland cruiser so this ship born as the result.
This drawing is the first where I've used my interpretation of the Japanese Bofors 40mm Type 5 AA gun.
The hull is rather short for an IJN cruiser but the armament is more then adequate for it's size having 4 triple 15,5cm, 6 twin 10cm guns while close range AA was provided by 12 twin 40mm, 10 triple and 4 twin 25mm AA guns. Armour is the same as the USN Cleveland class, somewhat faster by 1 knot but also carries two Aichi E16A Zuiun / Paul floatplanes.
