Klappentext
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hirado was the third and final vessel built in the Chikuma-class of second class protected cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Hirado had two sister ships, Chikuma and Yahagi. Hirado was named for after the town of Hirado, Nagasaki. Designed shortly after the Russo-Japanese War, the Chikuma-class light cruisers combined fairly heavy armament and displacement with newly-developed Curtis turbine engines, which gave it an incredible (for the time) 26.87 knot speed. However, problems with material strength in the gears of the new engines created a maintenance nightmare, and Hirado could seldom live up to its potential.
