Jintsu?




Midnight19D -> RE: Name This AE...196 (1/12/2009 7:46:10 PM)

Kinu?



DivePac88 -> RE: Name This AE...196 (1/12/2009 8:47:32 PM)

Its Natori, at Brunei maybe.



wdolson -> RE: Name This AE...196 (1/12/2009 11:10:49 PM)

Where ever it is, it's a good sized port.  There are rail lines on the dock.  I would say it's somewhere in the Home Islands.

It's Sendai, Naka, or Jintsu; you can just see that the foremost funnel is higher than the others, and that combined with the size of the bridge structure is characteristic for that class.



Local Yokel -> RE: Name This AE...196 (1/13/2009 12:04:11 AM)

I don't think this is a Naka class CL.  If it were, I would expect to see some sign of the cutter + davits immediately abaft of the port gun mount.

Moreover, note the spoon-shaped bow.  Sendai had one, but she was only Naka that did, so far as I know.  All the Nagaras had spoon-shaped bows until Abukuma's 1930 collision, when she received one similar in shape to that of Naka and Jintsu.

So I think this is more likely to be a Nagara class CL.  Could well be Natori.  To be different, I'll guess this is Yura.

The skyline suggests to me that this is Yokosuka, looking south from a point just north of the principal dry docks.



borner -> RE: Name This AE...196 (1/13/2009 3:28:01 AM)

what are the row of crane-looking things running along the side amidships?



Mynok -> RE: Name This AE...196 (1/13/2009 3:35:35 AM)


Torpedo loaders? Did Japanese CL really only have one turret in the bow?

And unless its a bad angle I count three funnels not four. Naka's had four funnels. But which one???

She has 2 turrets back-to-back on the Foredeck, but B turret is in the shadow.

Reason I think it is Natori is because of the placement of the search-light directors on the bridge structure, which is different than her sisters.

Here is the entire Nagara class: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/japan/nagara-cl-schem.htm

The ship has the opening in the railing just forward of the stacks that the Natori, Yura, and Kinu had.  It's pre-war or early war, there is no radar on the forward mast.
