Suzuya was one of four Mogami class of heavy cruisers in the Imperial Japanese Navy, serving in World War II. She was named after the Suzaya River on Karafoto. The Mogami-class ships were constructed as "light cruisers" (per the Washington Naval Treaty) with five triple 6.1-inch dual purpose guns. They were exceptionally large for light cruisers, and the barbettes for the main battery were designed for quick refitting with twin 8-inch guns. In 1937 all four ships were "converted" to heavy cruisers in this fashion. Suzuya was sunk by carrier aircraft during the 1944 Battle of Leyte Gulf.
