High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The two Tone class cruisers were the last heavy cruisers produced for the Imperial Japanese Navy. They participated in numerous actions during in World War II. The Tone class cruisers were originally envisaged as the 5th and 6th vessels in the Mogami class and were funded as such under the 2nd 1932 Supplementary Budget. However, by the time construction began, design weaknesses in the Mogami-class design had become clear after the Tomozuru Incident, and Japan no longer had any intention of even pretending to abide by the limitations of the London Naval Treaty. This resulted in a new design, which turned out to be quite different from the Mogami class, although external dimensions were very similar. These very vessels were intended to provide long-range air scouting for cruiser squadrons and to operate together with aircraft carrier task forces.
