Kawachi | Friendly-Helpers

Kawachi — Japan · Tier III · Battleship

The Satsuma-class ships were to become the first Japanese dreadnoughts, but given the shortage of 305 mm guns, two 254 mm guns were installed in their side turrets instead. Two Kawachi-class ships equipped with 305 mm guns in six turrets embodied the further development of the Satsuma class. During World War I, the lead ship of the series participated in the Siege of Tsingtao. On July 12, 1918, as a result of her bow turret magazines detonating, Kawachi sank in Tokuyama Bay.
