I resisted the urge to title this 'The Bane of the Japanese Army', not going to lie.
The Japanese light/heavy cruiser Mogami (it depends on the year) is an interesting case. Her design process was a mess, largely down to the Japanese intention to get as much out of her as possible. Especially by giving her the ability to switch main guns, relatively easily.
And then there was her service history. Where she contrived to collide with multiple friendly ships, sink more Japanese ships in a single torpedo run than most submarines, and led directly to the sinking of one of her own sisters.
Not a lucky ship, this one.
