		The Imperial Japanese Navy 's Japanese battleship Satsuma was the first battleship in the world to be designed and laid down as an all-big-gun battleship, although gun shortages only allowed her to be equipped with four of the twelve 12-in guns that had been planned.
		The Italian Italian battleship Giulio Cesare was taken by the Soviets as reparations and renamed Novorossiysk; it was sunk by a German mine in the Black Sea October 29 1955.

	Japanese battleship Fuso (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Fuso took part in no major action during World War I, as the majority of the Japanese Navy was engaged in escort duties and various other work which did not require the use of the battle line.
		Fuso was lengthened by an additional 25 feet (7.6 m), the twin funnels trunked together, the original 24 mixed-firing boilers replaced by six new oil-fired Kampon boilers and the ships' control tops dramatically added to to produce the characteristic "pagoda" foremast which typified Japanese ships of the period.
		The Fusos were capable of 25.4 knots by the time these modifications were completed, a testament to the vastly improved efficiency of boilers in the 1930s.

		Fuso went into the yards twice during the 1930s for modernization which, among other changes added new turbines with all oil-burners, increased her speed to over 24 knots, gave her a distinctively ugly “pagoda” tower foremast, added torpedo bulges and thicker horizontal armor, and increased displacement to around 34,000 tons.
		The Japanese Navy started World War Two with the best-trained and highest-morale crews in the world, especially when engaged in night actions, and they had better torpedoes than any other nation.
		This was the last battle in history where battleship fired on battleship.

	FUSO
		FUSO swung out of line momentarily, out of the wind, but the fire looked worse than it was, and Ban Masami had it extinguished within forty-five minutes.
		To be identified as Japanese battleships so clearly, it strongly suggests the hulks were still upright with sufficient parts of the superstructure remaining to identify the class.
		FUSO's full complement at the time of loss is unknown, but the battleship HYUGA, of comparable size and design, boasted 102 officers and 1,155 petty officers and men in October 1944.

		Their efficacy, largely proven during the Crimean War in turn led to the development of the first ironclad warships in 1859, and the subsequent generalization of Wrought iron hulls.
		Warship technology was advancing so rapidly from 1865 - 1906 that new battleships were often rendered obsolete within a few years of construction.
		From 1870 to 1890 battleship design was in a wildly experimental phase, as different navies experimented with different turret arrangements, sizes and numbers, with each new design rendering the previous ones largely obsolete overnight.

	Japanese Battleships
		The Fuso class battleships were characterized by their tall superstructures. Although they were more heavily armed and faster than most foreign battleships of the time, they lacked much in armor. These ships were already out dated by World War II and were easily sunk by US naval Forces.
		The Nagato class of battleships not only was the first Japanese battleships to sport the 16” guns, but also the first in the world to have them. She was also faster and bettered armored than most her counterparts of the day.
		The fourth Yamato class of battleship was laid 7 November 1940. However, it was cancelled in 1942 and scrapped in 1943.

	The Battleship Kongo
		The Japanese battleship Kongô, a ship with a magical name and an important history, was budgeted in 1910 and ordered from the British shipbuilder Vickers in January 1911.
		Battleships had always required masts for spotting, range finding, and fire control, but the need for height increased as possible ranges of targets increased and eyeballing was replaced by heavy optical equipment.
		Victory was no foregone conclusion, since these six Japanese battleships (with an ex-Chinese one thrown in), did not outnumber the Russian squadron in Port Arthur.

	Hi-Mold 1:700 IJN Battleship Fuso
		Janusz Skulski, in his wonderful Anatomy of the Ship Battleship Fuso, and several other sources argue it was the Fuso that faced the American battleships, but it seems to me that Tully (and Samuel Eliot Morrison) are correct in asserting the Fuso was the victim of American destroyers.
		Although Fuso spent most of her career in harbor, I suspect she became weathered during her last several months in the transit from Japan to Singapore to Brunei and then to Leyte.
		A modeling friend paid my Fuso a high compliment by saying if he had not known it was a conversion, he would have thought the ship came from the box in its 1944 guise.

	dictionary - Japanese battleship Ise
		She was originally planned to be the third Fuso-class battleship, but problems including weak armament and protection forced a redesign and new classification.
		Her displacement and armament were still usable at the outset of World War II, but due to her relatively slow speed, large crew, and high fuel consumption, along with lack of a suitable role, she never saw battle as a battleship.
		Ise was later converted to a carrier battleship — the aft turrets were removed and replaced with a hangar, deck and catapult.
