Nice drawing, but which version ? (1920/1921 as commissioned, mid 1930's ?)
By 1938 the 76mm are replaced by the 25mm's
In your "Ship-title", added the year

This is late 1941 just before she got her Arctic white camouflage. I'll add the year to the title.

Very nice one, a good drawing and an intersting ship class.

I also believe they seriously upped her torpedo loadout - to the point where she had the heaviest torpedo broadside of any ship commissioned!

Those were two other ships in this class - Ōi and Kitakami. I'm gonna draw the latter ;)

Kuma, Tama, and Kiso remained CLs to the end of their respective careers. Kitakami and Oi were converted to 'torpedo cruisers' and then to high-speed transports before Oi was sunk in July 1944. In early 1945, Kitakami was converted to a Kaiten carrier.

Thanks!
Here is a modified version with the floatplane catapult removed (as it was hardly used), more AA armament added and the new air search radar:
