As i used to argue previously, IJN missed a trick in rearming the Mogamis and even the Tones, with the 6 inch guns, 50% more barrels and twice the firing rate they could have thrown a lot more shells at an enemy than with the 8 inch guns.The other trick is not having "cheated properly" re the Ryujo, with the benefit of hindsight they should have build a pre-Soryu, i imagine it as built around twin DD machinery of 100, 000HP, speed 32kts, displacement about 14,000-15,000 tons (basically a sort of Soryu with smaller machinery), compared to a declared displacement of say about 9000 tons. OTL Hiryu and Soryu could also be declared as 9000 tons because why not.The third trick is not having "cheated more" regarding the post LNT DDs , TBs and CLs and some of the auxiliaries too (Taigei iirc was problematic too i think) could have saved themselves a lot of time, money and slip space by not having to rebuild the damn things, they probably needed to be 10% bigger from the start.
