		Takachiho was part of the large Japanese fleet engaged in the capture of the German base of Tsingtau in northern China.
		Directly engaged in the attack were three old battleships, two coast defence ships, three armoured cruisers, a seaplane carrier and destroyer flotilla with its light cruiser leader.

		The seven battleships that followed were improved versions, either in their guns or their armor.
		The Standard battleships New Mexico, Idaho, Mississippi and Colorado and the dreadnoughts Arkansas, New York and Texas were needed in the Atlantic.
		Because of the major reconstructions of Fuso, Yamashiro, Ise and Hyuga completed in the 1930s, they were evenly matched against the Standard American battleships in both their armament and armor protection.

	Avalanche Press
		This plane had good offensive punch, but the battleships could not have recovered them: they would fly one sortie, then have to land at an airfield or on an actual carrier.
		Thus the battleships could not re-fuel or re-arm their aircraft, and would have to enter a port to recover them.
		Japanese designers first disproved this with a seaplane version of the A6M “Zero” fighter.

	The Battle of Leyte Gulf
		The pride of the Japanese Navy from the First World War, as well as several old battleships raised from the mud of Pearl Harbor, and at the perfect place and time to exact a measure of revenge for that day nearly three years earlier.
		But, with the apparent collapse of the Japanese fleet and air power, the plan to invade the central Philippines was advanced two months from December to October of 1944.
		Against this formidable force, the Japanese committed to action virtually all that was left of the operational forces, afloat and in the air, of Japan’s once proud navy.

	Japanese Navy
		The ship, a WW I vintage battleship which had been modernized in 1936, and later converted to part battleship and part sea plane tender, would be a formidable objective with its impressive firepower and the fact that its location would place the attackers in the line of fire of numerous shore batteries.
		Anti-aircraft fire is fierce, and the Hyuga is partially obscured by the incredible amount of smoke being generated by its AA guns.

	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.

	Dreadnought
		Only 3 of the American and only 2 of the Japanese battleships would be finished, many old ships would be scrapped by Britain and the United States, and Britain would be allowed to build 2 new battleships to make up for the age of her remaining ships.
		Battleships missed their chance for many surface actions because they were being held back for the more "serious" fleet actions that never occurred.
		However, these were indeed battleships, of the kind (Pre-Dreadoughts) that had just fought at Tsushima, more in number than the entire battleship fleet of Japan in World War II (twelve ships), and the real pecularity is just that they would sail alone.

		When the Imperial Japanese Fleet destroyed the Imperial Russian Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima in May 1905, Japan was recognized by all to be a world power with a comparatively small but first class navy.
		The horsepower of the battleships leaped from 45,000 shp to 80,000 shp.
		I personally urge everyone to use one of the available Japanese battleship photo-etch sets as open brass towers are so much nicer parts to use than the solid plastic ones provided in the kit.

		To partially compensate for the loss of carrier strength at the Battle of Midway, HyÅ«ga was converted to a hybrid battleship/carrier at the Sasebo Navy Yard between 1 May and 1 October 1943.
		Originally, the Kaga (originally laid down as a battleship) and a similar ship, the Akagi (originally laid down as a battle cruiser) were intended in the event of war to be quickly converted to capital ships.
		By 1944, a new Yamato-class superbattleship, the Shinano, was converted while under construction and launched as a super aircraft carrier, and old battleships such as the Hyuga and her sister ship, the Ise had their aft turrets removed and replaced by small flight decks to launch a squadron of aircraft.

		While the Japanese may have complained the loudest about the battleship "ratio" (for every 5 RN and 5 USN battleships, the IJN got 3) in the Treaty, France and Italy may have had more to complain about.
		On those occasions when Japanese battleships and battlecruisers were used, they were not terribly effective.

		Here is Lt. Paul Brehm in his Curtiss SB2C Helldiver attacking the "Hyuga," a WWI Japanese battleship that had been converted to part seaplane tender.
		In two separate attacks, the TBDs launched a total of 22 torpedoes in Tulagi harbor, but their only success was the sinking of the minesweeper "Tama Maru." This was probably due to the poor quality of the aerial torpedoes, and the inexperience of the American flight crews.
		The huge Japanese battleship Yamato was sent on a suicide mission to Okinawa late in the war.

		It was a Japanese medium bomber—the one we called ‘the Betty.’ His intent was obvious.
		The Japanese forces were on the run and Admiral William (Bull) Halsey, commander of the Third Fleet, ordered his flotilla to a northern Japanese island, Hokkaido, to begin ship-to-shore bombing attacks.
		Aloft only a little while, Wagner sighted the battleship about the same time he was seen by it.

		These guns were superior to the 14 inch guns installed in the earlier Kongo and Fuso classes and the superfiring arrangement of the amidships turrets allowed for superior internal arrangements and protection compared to the earlier and otherwise very similar Fuso class.
		Because they were too slow to accompany the fast carriers and, like the similar Fuso class, the Hyuga class battleships were denied an offensive mission of even shore bombardment and held back as a “fleet in being,” they were of little practical use–the wrong ships in the wrong war.
		Ise was damaged by bombs during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, bombed again in Kure Harbor on March 19, 1945 and finally sunk, along with her sister ship Hyuga, in shallow water at Kure by aircraft from the American aircraft carrier Lexington on July 28, 1945.

		The ship was a battleship that had a flight deck on her stern, making her basically a hybrid ship.
		An excellent example is given of military doublespeak when it refers to the damage to the Hyuga.
		The report said that, due to the holes left in the ship from the attack, the ship “lost buoyancy...and sunk.” Pretty much what happens to a ship that is bombed in that way.
