 [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.
During WWII Mutsu took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, and the Solomons Campaign.

 The Setup
Mutsu ordered Otori to present the entire list of reforms to the Yi government in writing and to make it clear that Japan would not remove its troops until their demands were met.

On the night of July 31, Mutsu notified all foreign representatives in Japan that his government had "exhausted all available and just efforts" to reach a settlement with the Chinese and that a "state of war" existed between his country and China.
