		It was sunk by gunfire 30 nautical miles (55 km) northeast of Miyakejima from the Kongo and Hyuga on 7 September 1924.

	Hasegawa 1/700 IJN Battleship Kongo : hobby888.com
		After this second reconstruction the Kongo class were no longer employed as part of the Japanese battle line, but were deployed with the carriers and the cruiser squadrons, a role for which their high speed made them admirably suited.
		In December 1941 Hiei and Kirishima escorted the six Japanese fleet carriers to Pearl Harbor, while Kongo and Haruna were deployed in support of the Southern Force which was charged with operations against the Philippines, Malaya, Java and Sumatra.
		Kongo and Haruna survived until Leyte Gulf, when they were present with the Japanese battle force during the abortive strike against the American transport fleet.

	Battleships :: Naval : Gourt
		Battleship was the name given to the most powerfully gun-armed and most heavily armored classes of warships built between the 15th and 20th centuries.
		Battleships evolved from northern European cogs, and included carracks and galleons in the 16th Century, ships of the line in the 17th and 18th centuries, broadside ironclads and Pre-Dreadnoughts in the 19th century, and Dreadnoughts in the 20th Century.
		For over 300 years battleships ruled the waves, allowing nations such as the Netherlands, Spain, France and the United Kingdom to create and maintain trade-based overseas empires and restrain their rivals.

		In 2293, the Kongo was on Neutral Zone patrol during the time Operation Retrieve was proposed.

		The Seventh Fleet's battleships and cruisers are to the south, having spent the night pounding one arm of the Japanese fleet into oblivion.
		The Third Fleet's carriers, battleships and cruisers are way off to the north, chasing what turns out to be a decoy element of the Japanese fleet - virtually empty aircraft carriers.
		The Japanese have four battleships, one of which is the largest in the world, eight cruisers and a dozen destroyers.

	Battlecruisers - Japanese "Kongo" Class - 1913
		The Kongo was designed by Sir George Thurston and laid down at Vickers, Barrow.
		When completed in 1913 the Kongo was superior to their contemporary counterparts.
		The Kongo's were modernized and upgraded in terms of propulsion and protection in the late 1920s and reclassified as battleships

	KONGO SOLVED - JULY 2001
		Despite this seeming stroke of fortune, the KONGO profile had little data to add, saying only that KONGO had departed Brunei with HARUNA on 16 November, and after describing the torpedoing, that at 0530 there was a loud explosion aboard her and thereupon KONGO settled into the sea and sank.
		However, if KONGO had a 15 degree list when she separated it strongly suggested the hypothesis was true, and for the moment of sinking there was the strong clue of the radar pip change to further affirm a capsize.
		Though I subsequently gained means to translate Japanese sources (which would solve UNRYU outright) for KONGO this was complicated by the fact there appears to be no surviving Detailed Action Report of her loss.

	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.

	History of the Kongo Class
		Direct confrontation with enemy battleships was not nearly as likely as with cruisers or battlecruisers, so they decided that their first dreadnoughts would be of the battlecruiser type.
		Kongo was built in the Vickers- Armstrong Yard at Barrow, the last major Japanese warship built overseas.
		Kongo was lost to submarine attack, Haruna to air attack, Kirishima to fire from a modern battleship, and Hiei from the combined fire of cruisers and destroyers.

	Japanese Battleship Kongo., Ships of Brawiling Battleships Steel

		All guns smashed, she thinks only of escape, but the Japanese ships are going the same way at a similar speed.
		The Japanese had the advantage of the "Phantom" destroyers, who destracted the Americans and caused them to fire on targets that really did not exist.
		The Japanese lost their Battleship, but still had all four of their heavy cruisers afloat, and had lost only two destroyers.

	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.
		New battleships would not be planned until 1936, when the naval treaties expired and Germany and Japan began to build up their own navies.

	Japanese battleship Hiei - Definition, explanation
		She was laid down by the Yokosuka Kaigun Kosho on 4 November 1911, launched on 21 November 1912 and completed on 4 August 1914.
		Following World War I, her boilers were upgraded for speed and bilges were added for better defense against torpedoes.
		Kongo and Hiei were relatively fast for battleships and because they were able to keep up with the carrier battle groups, both ships often accompanied them.

	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.
		The Japanese plan for invading Midway, a strategically-located small island about 1,100 miles northwest of Hawaii, involved the use of a decoy fleet which would feign an invasion of the Aleutians, while the main fleet consisting of approximately 100 ships and four aircraft carriers would carryout the invasion.
		Lacking effective radar, the Japanese fleet would prove to be unprepared for a high altitude attack by swarms of SBDs on June 4, 1942.

	Imperial Japanese Navy Battleships
		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.
		Yamato, Nagato, Haruna and Kongo along with numerous cruisers and destroyers, under the command of Vice Admiral Takeo Kurita, are effectively defeated by the decidedly inferior Task Group 77.4.3, (better known as "Taffy 3") under the command of Rear Adm. Clifton A.F. Sprague.

		At 14,000 yards, the pagoda-masted Japanese battleship ‘Kongo,’ opened fire on ‘Hoel’ with its 14-inch main battery and secondary guns.
		The rest of the Japanese fleet raked the attacking destroyers, and pounded the fleeing jeep carriers.
		But they forced ‘Kongo’ to turn violently, throwing off her gunnery and sowing confusion in the Japanese formation.
