Title: Kako
Description: (Japanese Light Cruiser, 1926) Letterpress reproduction, printed on a postal card, of a photograph of the ship in her original configuration, with short smokestacks, possibly taken during her trials in mid-1926. The 1929 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships published this view as representing Furutaka, sister ship of Kako, but steampipe locations on the forward smokestack indicate that this ship really is Kako. Despite the printed caption on the original postal card, this view looks nothing like Aoba and Kinugasa. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
