However, due to Japanese shipyards being overloaded, the ships only started construction at the start of the 1940s while the design was ready by 1937. These ships were meant to replace the completely obsolete Tenryu, Kuman, and Nagara-class cruisers as flagships of destroyers squadrons. The Agano-class was a group of four ships (Agano, Noshiro, Yahagi, and Sakawa) built by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War.
