Report No. 231-39 have been recieved from various sources that capital ships were also under construction at Mitsubishi in Nagasake and at Kawasaki in Kobe. It is believed that these reports are in error and that Mitsubishi is building two cruisers of approximately 15,000 tons while Kawasaki is building a large carrier to 20-25,000 tons. Subsequent reports in regard to this and other aspects of the Japanese building program will be submitted in the near future. |
