With the aircraft carriers and the super battleship finally off the presses Kumosenkan’s shipyards were finally free. With the devastating battle of Hawaii it was clear that not only new ships were needed, but a lot of them. It was clear that speed was a determining factor of victory on the waves. A new fast battleship design was commissioned. With three triple eighteen inch main turrets and a minimum speed of 31 knots. As well a new huk was needed to out speed and out gun other huks. Dual purpose 5 inch guns in 3 double turrets, 2 quintuple torpedo tubes, and a minimum speed of 45 knots.
Once the design of the new bb was completed 20 were to be constructed, 200 Aka class heavy cruisers were immediately ordered, 200 Niikata class light cruisers, and 150 Hei Gata class submarines were to be laid down ass well. Once the new Huk design was complete 875 were to be constructed as quickly as possible.
