The Agano-class was designed as a swift and lightly armoured replacement for the aging Tenryu, Kuma and Nagara classes. They were predominantly used as destroyer and cruiser leaders. The lead ship in the class, the Agano, saw action in the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay in 1943 off Bougainville. The Agano was twice damaged by US submarines, the final attack sinking her in February 1944.
