Trivia

General Information

She is named after the Tone River.
She was launched on the 21st of November 1937.
Tone was sunk on the 24th of July 1945, by USN aircraft from the light carrier USS Monrerey at Kure, Hiroshima (34°14′N 132°30′E). She was raised and scrapped over the course of 1947 and 1948.

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

Tone 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.
