A class of four units built between 1931 and 1934, all sunk during WWII. W-13 as built: ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/rkPqIio.png) For an interest comparision, take al look at my previous W-1/W-5 thread. Now consider that the W-1/W-5 ships displaced 600/620T, while the W-13 ones just 525T. Then compare the superstructures. No wonder why the W-13 had to be heavily rebuilt to correct top-heavyness in 1934. Next drawings will depict W-14 as built and as refitted, there is a remote possibility to see W-15 or W-16 as well. |

Excellent work, they certainly do look topheavy as completed. |

Very nice work, they sure had a good deal of top weight as originally designed. |

To close the series, W-15 as commisisoned: ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/cDeABtP.png) Since W-15 had just been launched (and W-16 not yet) by the time the Tomozoru incident happened, the ship was rebuilt before beign commissioned. |
