After intense operations in the Pacific and the loss at Guadalcanal, the Japanese Admiralty decided to convert two cruisers – \u003ci\u003eMaya\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTakao\u003c\/i\u003e – with the aim of strengthening their anti-aircraft defenses. Ultimately, only \u003ci\u003eMaya\u003c\/i\u003e underwent a full modernization, receiving modern 127 mm anti-aircraft gun mounts and a significant number of 25 mm cannons. This publication presents precisely this key moment of her service.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCharacteristics of the edition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The book \u003cstrong\u003eKagero 16058 Japanese Cruiser Maya EN\u003c\/strong\u003e contains as many as 152 detailed 3D renderings, depicting all construction details of the ship after its conversion—from the superstructure, through heavy and light armament, to additional equipment.
