Furutaka — Japan Tech Tree Tier V Cruiser.

The design of a new scout cruiser was based on the British Hawkins-class cruisers, and it incorporated design solutions tested on cruiser Yūbari. The armament consisted of six 200 mm guns. During World War II, Furutaka participated in the operation in the Solomon Islands, as well as in the Battles of the Coral Sea and Savo Island. On October 11, 1942, during the battle of Cape Esperance, Furutaka was hit by about ninety shells, resulting in her torpedoes detonating. The cruiser sank on the morning of October 12.

Pros
