Mogami 最上 was named after the River in Japan's Tohoku prefecture, Mogami River. Mogami was completed at Kure Naval Arsenal on 28 July 1935. She was assigned to protect the Japanese landings in Malaya, Borneo, Sumatra and Java (December 1941 - February 1942). During the Battle of Midway (5 June 1942), Mikuma had rammed Mogami while attempting to dodge a torpedo launched by an American submarine. Mogami's bow caved in and she was badly damaged. Mogami's bow was badly damaged and all his torpedoes were jettisoned. On 25 August 1942, Mogami was sent to Sasebo Naval Arsenal and underwent a massive conversion into an Aircraft Carrier cruiser to improve the fleet's reconnaissance capabilities. Later, she participated in the Battle of Phillipine Sea ( June 1944) and Battle of Leyte Gulf ( October 1944). In the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Mogami was struck by American shells from the heavy cruiser USS Portland, USS Louisville and USS Denver. The badly damaged Mogami was scuttled by destroyer Akebono on 25 October 1944.
