Japanese cruiser ĹŚyodo
Ōyodo (Japanese:大淀, named after a river in Japan, literally means "big stagnant water") was a light cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the only ship of her class. Her design was basically an improved version of the Agano-class cruisers, though while the same general hull form as Agano was adopted, with flush deck and bulbous bow, the armament differed both in layout and weapons, and the armour protection scheme was reduced.
