A B-25 over the "Muroc Maru"

... that a "Japanese cruiser" (pictured) was built in southern California in 1943?

ref 1: "When completed in 1943...looked for all the world like a Japanese Atago-class heavy cruiser"

Reviewed: SMS Marie
Comment: "Atago-class" (in source quote) is/was a synonym for the Takao-class.

Article is long enough at 1613 characters, new enough and within policy. Hook is of appropriate length and interesting; AGF on the book source. QPQ is also done, so this is good to go. Dee 03 14:14, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
