Japanese battlecruiser IJN Amagi

Japanese battlecruiser IJN Amagi

Originally a battlecruiser planned by the Japanese Navy, it belonged to the Tiancheng class.

As a result, plans to build the Sky City were canceled and it was dismantled in 1924. The Tiancheng-class plan and the fate of the Tiancheng reflected the tensions of the time between the naval arms race and treaty restrictions, as well as the unintended effects of natural disasters on military planning.
