{{nihongo|'''''Kiso'''''|木曾| }} was the fifth and last of the five {{sclass|Kuma|cruiser|0}} [[light cruiser]]s, which served with the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] during [[World War II]]. She was named after the [[Kiso River]] in central [[Honshū]], [[Japan]].

==Background==
After the construction of the {{sclass|Tenryū|cruiser|2}}s, the demerits of the small cruiser concept became apparent. At the end of 1917, plans for an additional six ''Tenryū''-class vessels, plus three new-design 7,200 ton-class [[scout cruiser]]s were shelved, in place of an intermediate 5,500 ton-class vessel which could be used as both a long-range, high speed reconnaissance ship, and also as a command vessel for [[destroyer]] or [[submarine]] flotillas. {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Kuma||2}} was the [[lead ship]] of the five vessels in this class which were built from 1918-1921.<ref name=Gardner>Gardner, ''Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1906–1921''; page 238</ref>

==Design==
{{Main| Kuma-class cruiser}}
The ''Kuma''-class vessels were essentially enlarged versions of the ''Tenryū''-class cruisers, with greater speed, range, and weaponry.<ref name= Gardner/>

With improvements in geared-turbine engine technology, the ''Kuma''-class vessels were capable of the high speed of {{convert|36|kn|km/h}}, and a range of {{convert|9000|nmi|km|abbr=on}} at {{convert|10|kn|mph km/h|abbr=on}}  .<ref name=Gardner/> The number of [[14 cm/50 3rd Year Type naval gun]]s was increased from three on the ''Tenryū'' class to seven on the ''Kuma'' class and provision was made for 48 [[naval mine]]s. However, the two triple torpedo launchers on the ''Tenryū'' class were reduced to two double launchers, and the ''Kuma'' class remained highly deficient in anti-aircraft protection, with only two [[8 cm/40 3rd Year Type naval gun]]s.<ref name= Gardner/>

''Kiso'' was unique in her class in that she was initially built with an aircraft hangar in the front of her bridge, which made her bridge higher than that of her sister ships. ''Kiso'' was also given anti-rain caps on her two forward stacks, which gave her a unique appearance.<ref name=Stille>Stille, '' Imperial Japanese Navy Light Cruisers 1941-45 '', page 14-19;</ref>

==Service career==

===Early career===
''Kiso'' was completed on 4 May 1921 at [[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries]] [[Nagasaki, Nagasaki|Nagasaki]] shipyards. Soon after completion, ''Kiso'' was fitted with both a forward and an aft flat superstructure, with a rotating floatplane take-off platform located aft for experimental and testing purposes.<ref name=Combined>[http://www.combinedfleet.com/kiso_t.htm]  CombinedFleet.com: ''Kiso'' Tabular Record of Movement;</ref>

''Kiso'' was then assigned to cover the landings of Japanese troops in [[Siberia]] during Japan's [[Siberian Intervention]] against the [[Red Army]]. She was subsequently based at [[Lüshunkou|Port Arthur]], and patrolled the [[China]] coast between the [[Kwantung Leased Territory]] and [[Qingdao]].

By February 1929, ''Kiso'' along warships of other nations was stationed at [[Yantai|Zhifu]] in order to prevent the outbreak of anti-foreigner pogroms amid the [[Warlord Rebellion in northeastern Shandong]].<ref>{{cite news |date=25 February 1929 |title= Looting under Way by Chinese |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/centralia-daily-chronicle-feb-25-1929-p-1/ |work=[[The Chronicle (Centralia, Washington)|Centralia Daily Chronicle]] |location=[[Yantai|Zhifu]], [[Washington, D.C.]] |access-date=17 October 2018 }}</ref>

On 17 April 1939, ''Kiso'' fired a [[21-gun salute]] as the cruiser {{USS|Astoria|CA-34|6}} arrived at [[Yokohama]] carrying the remains of [[Hiroshi Saito (diplomat)|Hiroshi Saito]], the Japanese ambassador to the [[United States]], who had died while on assignment to [[Washington D.C.]]

===Operations in northern waters===
On 10 November 1941, ''Kiso'' was assigned to CruDiv 21 in the [[5th Fleet (Imperial Japanese Navy)|IJN 5th Fleet]] under Vice Admiral [[Boshirō Hosogaya]], and was painted in Arctic [[camouflage]] for operations in northern waters. At the time of the [[attack on Pearl Harbor]], ''Kiso'' was patrolling in the [[Kuril Islands]], and after suffering hull damage due to severe weather, was forced to return to [[Yokosuka Naval Arsenal]] for repairs by the end of the year.<ref name=Combined/> From January to end April 1942, ''Kiso'' resumed patrols in northern waters, accompanied by her [[sister ship]], {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Tama||2}}.

In April, after the [[Doolittle Raid]], ''Kiso'' was one of many vessels sent in unsuccessful pursuit of [[US Navy]] [[Task Force 16]] with the [[aircraft carrier]]s {{USS|Hornet|CV-8|6}}, and {{USS|Enterprise|CV-6|2}}. Shells from ''Kiso''{{'}}s main batteries scuttled guard boats ''No. 26 Nanshin Maru'' and ''No. 1 Iwate Maru'' after those vessels had been damaged by planes from ''Enterprise'' during the Doolittle Raid.<ref name=Cressman>Cressman, ''The Official Chronology of the U.S. Navy in World War II''; page 89</ref>

In May 1942, ''Kiso'' accompanied the converted [[seaplane tender]] {{ship|Japanese seaplane tender|Kimikawa Maru||2}} on a scouting mission to [[Kiska]] and [[Adak Island|Adak]], in the [[Aleutian Islands]]. The Adak mission was successful, but Kiska was obscured by weather. On 28 May 1942, ''Kiso'' was part of the [[Battle of the Aleutian Islands]], in "Operation AL" (the seizure of Attu and Kiska). The invasion force landed troops on Kiska on 7 June 1942, with ''Kiso'' covering.  On 10 June 1942, offshore Kiska, ''Kiso'' and several other ships and a few [[destroyer]]s were attacked by a formation of six [[United States Army Air Forces|USAAF]] [[B-24 Liberator]] bombers. ''Kiso'' was undamaged. Likewise, on 14 June 1942 ''Kiso'' was attacked by [[PBY Catalina]] flying boats, with a number of near misses. ''Kiso'' returned safely to [[Mutsu Bay]] on 24 June 1942.

On 28 June 1942, ''Kiso'' and {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Tama||2}} participated in the second reinforcement convoy to Kiska, then patrolled southwest of Kiska in anticipation of an American counter-attack, returning to [[Yokosuka Naval District]] on 16 July 1942. From 16 July - 2 August 1942, after refit at Yokosuka, ''Kiso'' returned north to patrol around Kiska, and covered the transfer of the Attu garrison to Kiska on 20 August 1942, returning to [[Ōminato Guard District]] on 18 September 1942. ''Kiso'' continued a series of patrol and resupply missions to the Kuriles and Aleutians from October through the end of March 1943.<ref name=Combined/>

On 28 March 1943, Vice Admiral [[Shiro Kawase]] assumed command of the IJN 5th Fleet. ''Kiso'' was sent to [[dry dock]] on 4 April 1943 for a major refit, during which its {{convert|900|mm|in|abbr=on|0}} [[searchlight]]s were replaced by three Type 96 {{convert|1100|mm|in|abbr=on|0}} searchlights. Two [[Type 96 25 mm AT/AA Gun|Type 96 twin-mount 25-mm AA guns]] were added at port and starboard above the aft torpedo-tube mounts. She was also fitted with a Type 21 air-search [[radar]].

On 11 May 1943, ''Kiso'' was sent with the destroyers {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Hatsushimo|1933|2}} and {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Wakaba|1934|2}} to escort ''Kimikawa Maru'' transporting eight [[Mitsubishi F1M|Mitsubishi F1M2]] ("Pete") Type 0 observation floatplanes and two [[Nakajima A6M2-N]] ("Rufe") fighter floatplanes of the 452nd [[Kōkūtai]] to Attu. However, the Americans invaded and retook Attu the same day, and the mission was scrubbed. ''Kiso'' was sent instead on 21 May 1943 to assist in the evacuation of Japanese forces from Kiska. After several attempts due to poor weather, ''Kiso'' managed to evacuate 1,189 troops from Kiska on 29 July 1943. The ship continued its patrols in the area until the end of August.<ref name=Combined/>

===Operations in southern waters===
On 15 September 1943, ''Kiso'' was reassigned south, and ferried troops from [[Pohnpei|Ponape]], [[Caroline Islands]] to [[Chuuk Lagoon|Truk]], arriving 23 September 1943 and returning to [[Kure Naval District]] on 4 October 1943.

Likewise, on 12 October 1943, ''Kiso'' and ''Tama'' embarked troops in [[Shanghai]]. ''Kiso'' had a narrow escape from the submarine {{USS|Grayback|SS-208|6}} while in the [[East China Sea]], but safely arrived at Truk on 18 October 1943. From Truk, ''Kiso'' was assigned to carry the troops further, to [[Rabaul]], [[New Britain]].  On 21 October 1943, {{convert|53|mi|km}} from [[Cape St. George]], the cruisers were attacked by [[RAAF]] [[Bristol Beaufort]] bombers from [[Guadalcanal]]. ''Kiso'' sustained a direct hit by a {{convert|250|lb|kg|abbr=on|0}} bomb. The damage was severe enough to force a return to [[Maizuru Naval Arsenal]] for repairs. After arriving at Maizuru on 10 November 1943, ''Kiso'' was also modified by having her two 140-mm gun mounts removed and replaced by a dual 127-mm HA gun mount. Three triple mount and six single mount Type 96 25-mm AA guns were also installed bringing their total to 19 (3x3, 2x2, 6x1).

After modifications were completed on 3 March 1944, ''Kiso'' returned to northern waters on patrol duties for the following three months. However, on 30 June 1944, ''Kiso'' and ''Tama'' were sent from Yokosuka with [[Imperial Japanese Army]] reinforcements to [[Bonin Islands|Ogasawara Islands]], returning on 3 July 1944. ''Kiso'' was then kept in the [[Seto Inland Sea]] from 10 August 1944 for training and guard duties.<ref name=Combined/>

With the invasion of [[Leyte]] starting 20 October 1944, ''Kiso'' was ordered south, but was still at Kure taking on a resupply of ammunition for Vice Admiral Kurita's fleet at the time of the [[Battle off Samar]] on 25 October 1944. After departing [[Sasebo, Nagasaki|Sasebo]] with the aircraft carrier {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier| Jun'yō||2}} and DesDiv 30's {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Uzuki|1925|2}}, {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Yūzuki||2}} and {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Akikaze||2}}, ''Kiso'' was spotted {{convert|160|mi|km}} west of [[Bolinao, Pangasinan|Cape Bolinao]], [[Luzon]], Philippines by the submarine {{USS|Pintado|SS-387|6}}. ''Pintado'' was accompanied by fellow submarines {{USS|Jallao|SS-368|2}} and {{USS|Atule|SS-403|2}} and was working in close cooperation with {{USS|Haddock|SS-231|2}}, {{USS|Halibut|SS-232|2}} and {{USS|Tuna|SS-203|2}}. ''Pintado'' fired all six of its [[Bow (ship)|bow]] torpedoes, but one of the Japanese destroyers came between the carrier and cruisers, sacrificing itself.<ref name=Combined/>

Admiral Kurita's ammunition was unloaded by 8 November 1944, whereupon ''Kiso'', together with ''Jun'yō'', cruisers {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Tone|1937|2}}, {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Haguro||2}} and {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Ashigara||2}}, DesDiv 30's ''Uzuki'' and ''Yūzuki'' following the battleships {{ship|Japanese battleship|Yamato||2}}, {{ship|Japanese battleship|Kongō||2}} and {{ship|Japanese battleship|Nagato||2}}, light cruiser {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Yahagi|1942|2}} with DesDiv 17's {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Hamakaze|1940|2}}, {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Isokaze|1939|2}} and the {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Yukikaze|1939|2}} returned towards Japan. ''Kiso'', ''Jun'yō'', ''Tone'' and DesDiv 30 were detached to Manila instead. ''Kiso'' became the flagship of the Fifth Fleet, replacing {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Abukuma||2}}.<ref name=Willmott>Willmott, ''The Battle of Leyte Gulf''; page 223</ref>

On 13 November 1944, on the threat of American carrier strikes on [[Luzon]], ''Kiso'' was ordered to return to [[Brunei]] that evening carrying Vice Admiral [[Kiyohide Shima]]. Before she could leave for Brunei, she was attacked on 13 November while underway in [[Manila Bay]] by more than 350 carrier planes of [[Fast Carrier Task Force|Task Force 38]]'s carrier task groups 38.1's {{USS|Hornet|CV-12|2}}, {{USS|Monterey|CVL-26|2}} and {{USS|Cowpens|CVL-25|2}}, TG 38.3's {{USS|Essex|CV-9|2}}, {{USS|Ticonderoga|CV-14|2}} and {{USS|Langley|CVL-27|2}} and TG 38.4's ''Enterprise'' and {{USS|San Jacinto|CVL-30|2}}. Three bombs hit ''Kiso'' to starboard - one in the bow, one near her [[Boiler room (ship)|boiler rooms]] and one near her aft [[gun mount]]s. ''Kiso'' sank in shallow water {{convert|13|km|nmi mi}} west of [[Cavite]] at {{coord|14|35|N|120|50|E|display=inline, title}}. Captain Ryonosuke Imamura and 103 of her crew survived, but 175 crewmen went down with the ship.<ref name= Stille/>

''Kiso'' was removed from the [[navy list]] on 20 March 1945. After the war, her wreck was salvaged on 15 December 1955, by the Nippon Salvage Company, and refloated into [[Manila]] Harbor for breaking up.
