Kuma Class Cruiser
The five Kuma class cruisers (球磨型軽巡洋艦, Kuma-gata keijun'yōkan?) were light cruisers operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Kuma-class cruisers proved useful in combat operations ranging from the Aleutian Islands to the Indian Ocean throughout World War II.
The Kuma-class was followed by the very similar Nagara-class.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“There is ... a class of fancies, of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet, I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt language.... Now, so entire is my faith in the power of words, that at times, I have believed it possible to embody even the evanescence of fancies such as I have attempted to describe.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
