Honestly, i think Tenryuu is not suited with the description. Based on history, Tenryuu was only noticeable in her speed but it was deemed only necessary for her role: FS for DesRon. But by the time of her completion, it was surpassed by plans for some newer destroyers. For the weapon, she might be great compared to other CL. The other still used 5inch guns, she used 5.5inch (14cm) but it was old guns from Ise-class.

In my opinion, Yuubari is more suited for the description. She was commissioned as a front-line warship and participated in numerous combat operations during WWII. she undertook a " Tokyo Express" transport run with 700 troops from the  IJA 17th Division and 25 tons of supplies to  Bougainville Island. She also took part in some evacuation missions.

Designs pioneered on Yuubari   had a major impact on future Japanese warship designs. She  was designed as an experimental scout cruiser that would have the combat potential of the standard 5,000 t Sendai-class but with a much lighter displacement. She  had 38 mm (1.50 in) of belt arrmor  protecting the machinery spaces and gun magazines, and 28 mm (1.10 in) armor for the deck and bridge, giving the vessel far superior armor than the previous 5000-ton cruiser designs. And she had only about 3,000t displacement.
