Booklet 30 of the "Warship Pictorial" series presents the heavy cruisers of the "Takao" class ("Takao", "Atago", "Maya" and "Chokai"), of the Imperial Japanese Navy from the time of World War 2. Contemporary bw-photos show the ships at anchor and in action and together with various bw-drawings and ship sketches illustrate the structural differences between the four sister ships.
In addition, there is an overview of the history of the heavy cruisers of the "Takao" class as well as a detailed chronicle of voyages and operations for each ship from the launching of the ship to its end.
