	[No title]
		The Japanese battleship Mutsu was a Nagato Class battleship, the first class of dreadnoughts to mount 16-inch main guns.
		She survived the cuts imposed on the Japanese Navy by the Washington Treaty, and she and her sister Nagato remained the most powerful capital ships in the IJN until the completion of the gigantic Yamato Class battleships.
		The Japanese have made a quick decision: the loss of the Mutsu will be covered up, the ship will be salvaged and returned to service as quickly as possible, and the enemy will never know.

	Japanese Battleships
		She was the first battleship in the world to mount 16 inch (410 mm) guns.
		The last active Japanese battleship was towed to Bikini Atoll and went through airburst and underwater atomic tests in July 1946.
		Mutsu was part of Main Body at the Battle of Eastern Solomons, and again, did not engage when the carrier force was damaged, light carrier Ryujo sunk, and the invasion force withdrew.

	IJN Mutsu, Ships of Battlegroup
		Mutsu was the second ship of the two-ship Nagato battleship class and the ships had a mixture of 15 oil-fired and six mixed-firing boilers that gave them the exceptional speed of 26.7 knots.
		The Japanese were always worried about the superior number of United States battleships and were always trying to put superior ships into the water, which was the case when the Nagato and Mutsu were launched.
		Mutsu sortied and took part in the attempted Midway invasion in mid 1942 and was distantly involved in some of the later operations around Guadalcanal.

	Japanese battleship Yamato (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The mainmast, funnel and tower bridge were all unique in design and appearance, differing markedly both from other Japanese battleships and from capital ships of other navies.
		She sailed with the Nagato, Mutsu, Hosho, Sendai, nine destroyers and four auxiliary ships as Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's Main Body during the attempted invasion of Midway Atoll in June 1942, but took no active part in the Battle of Midway.
		Other Japanese survivors reported that U.S. aircraft temporarily halted their attacks on the Japanese destroyers during the time that the destroyers were busy picking up survivors from the water.

	Tamiya 1/700 IJN Battleship Musashi 1942 : hobby888.com
		Just prior to the conclusion of WWI, the Japanese Navy was considering to modernize their aging fleet with a very strong and powerful line of new warships, called the Eight-Eight squadron.
		During this time, Japan constructed four of the eight planned ships; Nagato, Mutsu and the Akagi and Kaga which were converted to aircraft carriers, so that the grand plan of 8-8 was not carried out.
		In violation of the London and Washington Treaties, and in the greatest secrecy, the Japanese Navy begun construction of a 2nd Super Battleship, named Musashi on 29 March 1938, at the Nagasaki Naval Shipyards.

	Japanese battleship Aki Information
		She was designed as an all-big gun battleship, but shortages of 12 inch （254 mm） guns only allowed her to have a combination armament.
		The Aki was the last Japanese battleship built with coal-fired steam turbine engines, and the first Japanese battleship with turbine propulsion, which allowed her to reach a speed of 20.25 knots during trials in December 1910.
		It was expended as a target, and sunk by the IJN Nagato and the IJN Mutsu off of Nojimasaki, southern Boso Peninsula, Chiba on 07 September 1924, in a ceremony witnessed by the Crown Prince (future Emperor Showa) and the heads of all the departments in the Japanese military.

	Japanese battleship Mutsu Information
		Mutsu (陸奥) named after Mutsu Province, was the Imperial Japanese Navy's second Nagato class battleship, laid down at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal on June 1 1918, launched on May 31 1920, and completed on October 24 1921.
		Mutsu exploded in Hiroshima harbor on June 8, 1943, probably due to faulty handling of ammunition.
		A large section of the bow was lifted, along with the anchors, screws, rudder, main guns, and the complete number 4 turret.

	The Official Chronology of the U.S. Navy in World War II--1943
		Japanese collier Tokachi Maru is sunk by Japanese mine west of Surubaya, Java, N.E.I., 06°50'S, 112°12'E. tanker Mobilube is torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-21 off coast of New South Wales, Australia, 33°57'S, 157°20'E; Australian minesweeper HMAS Kapunda provides assistance as the tanker remains afloat.
		Japanese 701st Kokutai land attack planes damage heavy cruiser Chicago (CA 29); in the retirement from the area, heavy cruiser Louisville (CA 28), in a masterful piece of seamanship, takes her damaged sistership in tow in complete darkness.
		Failure of that operation, Japanese navy officials admit later, proves "the impossibility of surface transport in the Lae area." Of the sixteen ships which sail for Lae, all eight transports are sunk, as are four of the escorting destroyers.

	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.

	The Washibe Worldwide Breakfast Show
		The outside of the building is in a western style- I suppose there isn't really a Japanese style for stone buildings- but inside, the British influence is completely clear.
		I've been inside this museum any number of times, so the first of the three rooms of exhibits- paintings, calligraphy, and various possessions, medals, etc. belonging to famous Japanese naval officers, no longer holds any particular interest for me. However, the second and third rooms move me almost to tears every time I see them.
		They detail the 'suicide' submarines and planes used by the Japanese in the Pacific War; in particular, the third room is full of the final letters left by the young men before they went off to their deaths.

		This was to comprise eight new battleships including the Nagato, Mutsu, Kaga, Tosa, Kii and Owari, and eight new battle cruisers including the Amagi, Akagi, Takao and Atago.
		Although the Nagato and Mutsu were completed and the Akagi and Kaga were changed into aircraft carriers, the grand plan was never realized.
		In October 1934 the Japanese Navy started plans for a new superdreadnought battleship, and after 22 months a proposal called A140-F5 was adopted.

	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 IJN Kaga was laid on 19 July 1920. However, due to the Naval Limitations Treaty, she was turned into a carrier to replace the Amagi and became Japan’s first large air craft carrier. She was sunk on 4 June 1942 by bombers from the USS Enterprise during the Battle of Midway.
