Re-design?[edit]

According to an issue of Janes Fighting ships, the re-design was with FOUR triple 155mm (6.1 inch) turrets forward, not 5 as stated in the article. The the twin 8-inch turrets replaced the triple 155mm turrets. What is your reference for the five turrets forward? 76.112.65.31 (talk) 04:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the japanese wiki, there was a footnote (6) which translate to "How did Tone with 15 x 155mm guns came about". While I am not sure about the veracity of this link below, it seem like the IJN orignally requested for 15 x 155mm but final design spec had reduced it to 12 x 155mm. In the course of history Japan walked out of the Second Naval Treaty of Washington and the 155x were up-gunned to 8x203mm

Article needs a bit of fixing[edit]

At the time of writing this, the lead section is much too big. The leads section should ideally be no more than a couple of sentences. The rest of it should be moved to which-ever section is belongs in. GMRE (talk) 18:17, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Belt Armour[edit]

The Japanese wiki states belt armor of 145mm, while the main page also stated 150mm of armor over machinery spaces. However the direct articles for Tone and Chikuma states belt armour of 100mm... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.199.225.8 (talk) 09:51, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
