Trivia

General Information

She is named after the Chikuma River.
She was launched on the 19th of March 1938.
Scuttled on the 25th of October 1944, after the Battle off Samar 11°25′N 126°36′E.

Update History

She was part of the original game's launch when the game was released on the 23rd of April 2013.
She got her Kai Ni on the 23rd of April 2014.

Misc

Chikuma only has turrets on her right side because both Tone and Chikuma mounted all four turrets of their main battery forward of the main mast. The rear deck was equipped with a heavy AA battery and a complicated track and turntable system that allowed the quick launch of all 5 (compared to the 3 that all other cruisers carried) of her floatplane reconnaissance aircraft. This is depicted in her original form as a white pattern on her left sock, and on the skirt of her cheongsham in her Kai Ni form.
