About the ship
In 1910, Japan ordered a new battlecruiser from British company Vickers, and Japanese engineers also participated in the design process. During World War I, Kongō supported Japanese troops during the Siege of Tsingtao and took part in patrol operations. During World War II, the ship covered the landings in Malaya and the Philippines, and she participated in the Battles of Midway, the Santa Cruz Islands, Guadalcanal, the Philippine Sea, and Leyte Gulf. On November 21, 1944, Kongō took two torpedo hits from submarine USS Sealion and sank a few hours later.
