Sorry but i've written a CV-cruiser.
In fact, Mogami was first considered as a light cruiser (155mm guns) then after modernization (203mm) a real CA, then converted as CV-CA (as Ise and Hyuga were converted as CV-BB)
Here is the Mogami as it appeared during the battle

The distance between the two forces was 40 km not miles. the equates to about 25 miles.
There where 39 not 49 torpedo boats
Oups, you're right!
Thanks a lot for these corrections. Nobody's perfect ... so i've made mistakes

Now that i'm done nit-picking you mention Mogami as a him. I've always heard ships called a she not he. Is that a cultural thing?
What do you mean??? I've not understood, my english being too poor...
