Takao and her sister ships, built from the late 1920s, were based on earlier Myoko-class cruisers but featured better armor and main artillery adapted for anti-aircraft fire. The cruiser \"Takao\" participated in battles in the Pacific, including the area of the Philippines and at Leyte, and operated in the South China Sea. After the war, she was the only one of her class to survive and was scrapped in 1946.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The album by Skulski and Góralski contains precise 3D renderings reproducing every detail of the ship in its historical original—including late-war camouflage.
