Fusō — Japan · Tier VI · Battleship

Battlecruiser Kongō was used as the basis for the design of a new battleship. To surpass the New York-class dreadnoughts being built in the U.S., Japanese shipbuilders raised the number of 356 mm guns to 12 in six turrets, preferring twin-gun turrets to triple-gun ones to boost survivability. During World War II, the ship covered the Pearl Harbor raid, as well as participated in the Aleutian Islands campaign and the Battle of Surigao Strait. On October 25, 1944, the battleship was hit by torpedoes from U.S. destroyers and sank, breaking into several pieces.
