The subject of this monograph was 18 Japanese heavy cruisers that appeared between the World Wars and are known as "Washington" cruisers. Under the 1922 Washington Treaty, the leading maritime powers, trying to limit the arms race at sea, set a displacement limit of 10,000 British tons and a gun caliber limit of 203mm (8 inches). And then, all as one, began the serial construction of such ships. The first volume is devoted to the history of the creation, description of the design and pre-war upgrades of the heavy cruisers of the Imperial Navy of Japan. The book was written by one of the best experts on this problem. Contains many detailed diagrams and drawings.
