I'm the youngest of the Agano-class light cruiser sisters, the 4th ship, Sakawa.
I was born a little too late, so I wasn't able to go out much.[1] I wanted to sail alongside Yahagi-chan but... I ended up guarding Maizuru.[2] |

- ↑ She was completed at the end of 1944.
- ↑ She and her torpedo squadron were meant to participate in Ten-Go alongside Yahagi, but were unable to due to lack of fuel.
- ↑ She was used as a target in the Operation Crossroads nuclear test.
- ↑ She's making a pun with her verbal tic 'ぴゃっ' and the word 'ぴゃっと' which is a slang for 'moving quickly'.

- ↑ After the war she was demilitarised - her guns disabled and all her torpedoes, ammunition, and other equipment removed - before serving in the Repatriation Service to ferry Japanese troops home.

Trivia
- General Information
- She is named after the Sakawa River.
- She was launched on the 9th of April 1944.
- Used as a target on Operation Crossroads at Bikini Atoll on the 1st of July 1946. Sunk one day after the Able nuclear test.
- Update History
- She was added on the 23rd of April 2014 as Spring 2014 Event E5 reward.
- Became droppable on normal maps the 26th of September 2014.
- Misc
- Originally assigned to accompany Yamato during Operation Ten-Go.
- Survived World War II.
- Taken as a war prize by the United States and was used for repatriation efforts, turned over to the United States Navy on the 25th of February 1946.
- While at Eniwetok, five of its American sailors were angry over the dismal working conditions aboard Sakawa. In a ship normally staffed by over 730 men, the U.S. Navy used a crew of 165 doing the work of 325. The five sailors sabotaged the ship by removing the pressure line to the over-speed trip valves in the fuel system and pouring sand into the oil and water pumps. They smashed gauges and tachometers, and cut high-pressure steam lines in an attempt to get relieved of duty aboard the filthy warship. Rather than being relieved of duty, the five sailors were brought up on charges. In May, after emergency repairs, Sakawa reached Bikini Atoll.
