WoWS Furutaka 古鷹 [Bottom Tier but Top Score]

Furutaka was the lead ship in the two-vessel Furutaka-class of heavy cruisers in the Imperial Japanese Navy. The ship was named after Mount Furutaka, located on Etajima, Hiroshima immediately behind the Imperial Japanese Navy Academy.
Furutaka and her sister ship Kako were the first generation of high speed heavy cruisers in the Japanese navy, intended to counter the American Omaha and British Hawkins-class scout cruisers. They developed the experimental design pioneered in the cruiser Yūbari. Although there were attempts to minimise weight and protection was only designed to be proof against 6 inch shells, the displacement was seriously overweight.
The two ships were scout cruisers, designed with aircraft facilities. The lack of catapults, however, necessitated launches from water until a major refit in 1932/3.

列強の15cm砲搭載軽巡洋艦を凌駕する巡洋艦として、20cm砲6門を搭載し相応の防御力を有した8,000トン級巡洋艦として1923年度の計画で建造され。その背景には、帝国海軍の巡洋艦の主力である5,500t型巡洋艦が仮想敵であるアメリカ海軍のオマハ級軽巡洋艦に比べ大きく劣っていた事が挙げられる。
古鷹型は、実験艦としての性格が強かった軽巡洋艦夕張を拡大・改良したものである。
単装の20cm砲を前甲板と後甲板の中心線上に3基ずつ並べ、煙突を巨大化し、航行性を高めるために波型の甲板を採用した事に特徴がある。 準同型艦の青葉型重巡洋艦では20cm連装砲塔3基6門を搭載しており、これが建造当初の古鷹型と青葉型の識別点となった。
同型の加古と共に1936～39年の改装で主砲を20.3cm連装砲3基に変更し、艦橋装置の近代化や、水雷兵装の新式化が行われている。砲撃力、速力、水雷戦闘能力共に太平洋戦争開戦時の水準を満たした強力な中型巡洋艦となった。
