However, the Mogami and Tone-class remained officially classified as 2nd-class cruisers (light cruisers) right up to the end.
To maintain this secrecy, it appears the US did not realise that the main guns had been replaced until they saw photographs of the Mikuma taken during the Battle of Midway.

Subsequently, the name ‘Mikuma’ was given to the 4th ship of the Mogami-class escort vessels (FFM-4), which entered service in 2023; however, the name ‘Chikugo’ has not been passed on.
This may be because the name was adopted for a Japan Coast Guard patrol vessel (PM34).

Although the light cruisers of the former IJN were named after rivers, you might find it difficult to locate the Mikuma River.
This is because the name simply refers to a section of the upper reaches of the Chikugo River, which flows near Hita City in Ooita Pref.

The damage to the bow of the Mogami was the result of a collision with the centre of the port side of the Mikuma.
During the Battle of Midway, the Kumano, FS of the 7th Squadron, spotted the USS Tambor (SS-198) 45 degrees to her starboard front and ordered a simultaneous 45-degree turn to port.
