Japanese Light Cruiser 1942-1945","description":"Yahagi, the second Japanese warship of that name, was the third of the four Agano-class vessels (the other three being Agano, Noshiro and Sakawa). Construction of the Agano-class cruisers was approved by the Japanese parliament (Diet) in March 1939 under the Fourth Naval Armaments Enhancement Program (Dai-Yon-Ji Kaigun Gunbi Jūjitsu Keikaku), also known as the \"Four-in-Circle\" Program (Maru Yon Keikaku), or simply Maru 4. Under the terms of the program, the four light cruisers (kei jun'yōkan), also referred to as type B cruisers (otsu-gata jun'yōkan, or simply otsu jun) were officially classed as second-class cruisers (ni-tō jun'yōkan), and were to fulfill the role of destroyer squadron flagships. At that time destroyer squadrons (DesRon), called literarily torpedo squadrons (suirai sentai), consisted of four four-ship destroyer divisions (DesDiv, or kuchiku-tai).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariusz Motyka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8364596969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788364596964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kagero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mariusz Motyka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450155577599,"sku":"9788364596964","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91521dac-5162-4245-9fde-6be237b148f8.jpg?v=1777266448","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yahagi-japanese-light-cruiser-1942-1945-mariusz-motyka-9788364596964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
