It is the first ship of the Kawaguchi-class light cruiser of the Japanese Navy. It is an improvement from the previous Changliang grade, with a better boiler layout and four chimneys, while the Changliang grade has only three. Construction began on February 16, 1922 at Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard, launched on October 30, 1923, and commissioned on April 29, 1924. Participated in a number of important operations during the Second World War. It was sunk by a U.S. Navy cruiser during the Battle of the Surigao Strait on November 3, 1943, which was one of the major victories of the U.S. Army against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The sinking of the Kawachi marked the end of its operations in the war.
