		The Japanese Flagship to the Japanese Navy, she was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's floating fortress during Japan's World War II attack on Pearl Harbor and was a treasure to the Japanese forces.
		Japanese Naval historian Masanori Ito wrote: "When World War II began, the Japanese Navy-the third most powerful in the world-included some of the mightiest ships in naval history and was a force worthy of the pride and trust of the Japanese people.
		The lone survivor, the Nagato, died at Bikini as a target in an atomic bomb test." The 32,720 ton battleship is at rest upside down in 170 feet of water; her bridge is accessible at 150 feet, the hull and monstrous props at 110 feet.

	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.

		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.

		This 1:200 scale model of the battleship "Nagato" is based on the original Japanese plans, material from the archives of the "A.J. Press", the author's personal files, as well as material from the collection of M.Skwiota, and represents the ship as it appeared in 1941.
		This is a difficult model recommended for only the more experienced modelers.
		Modelers who wish to detail the model with the deck furnishings depicted here (for example, life rings, masting, and tropical awning structure, etc.) I recommend the excellent monograph of the battleships "Mutsu" and "Nagato" by Miroslaw Skwiota put out by "A.J.Press" in Gdansk in the series "Monografie Morskie" No. 5.
