Sendai was a Japanese light cruiser the keel of which was laid in 1922, launched in October 1923, and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in April 1924. The ship was 152.4 m long, 14.2 m wide, and her displacement was 5,200 tons. The maximum speed of the Sendai cruiser was 34-35 knots. At the time of launching, the main armament was 7 140 mm guns in single positions, and the additional armament was, among others: 2 80 mm anti-aircraft guns and 8 610 mm torpedo tubes.

Sendai was the first cruiser of the type to bear the same name - ie Sendai. Cruisers of this type were designed from the beginning as the so-called "Leaders" or guides of a destroyer flotilla. Therefore, when designing them, the emphasis was on high speed at the expense of armor. They also very often acted as flagships of such teams. The combat career of cruiser Sendai in World War II began in December 19141, when she shielded the Japanese landing in Malaya. At the turn of 1941/1942, he served as an escort for convoys in the region of Malaya and Indonesia, and in February 1942 he took part in the operation of the capture of Sumatra. Sendai took part only indirectly in the Battle of Midway in June 1942, without sustaining any damage during it. From the summer of 1942, he was involved in fighting in the Guadalcanal area. Cruiser Sendai was sunk on November 3, 1943 in the course of the Battle of Empress Augusta's Bay.
