Nachi was a Japanese heavy cruiser whose keel was laid in 1924, launched in June 1927, and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in November 1928. The ship was 202 m long, 20.7 m wide, and the actual full displacement was 13,500 tons. The cruiser Nachi's maximum speed was 36 knots. At the outbreak of World War II, the main armament was 10 203 mm guns in five twin turrets, and the additional armament included: 8 127 mm guns and 12 610 mm torpedo tubes. Nachi was the second Myoko-class cruiser. Cruisers of this type were officially built to meet the requirements of the Washington Disarmament Treaty signed by the authorities in Tokyo in 1922, but in fact significantly exceeded its displacement and armament limits. Undoubtedly, the Myoko-type units were very successful: at the time of launching, they had clearly more powerful artillery weapons than their Royal Navy or US Navy counterparts, and also had very high speed. The cruiser Nachi's combat trail in World War II began in February 1942 with fighting in the area of the Dutch East Indies. He also took part in the Battle of the Java Sea in February 1942, making a great contribution to Japanese victory. Later he served in the Aleutian region, and in 1943 he fought a battle there near the Commander's Islands in March 1943. In 1944 he took part in the Battle of Leyte. The ship was sunk in Manila Bay on November 5, 1944 as a result of an attack by American on-board planes.
