Background

About the ship

A battleship of the A140-J3 design developed in Japan in the mid-1930s, preceding the construction of the Yamato-class battleships. After World War II, the ship could have been transferred to the U.S.S.R. and modernized with a significant portion of her armament replaced with Soviet models, after which the ship would have been transferred to the PRC in the early 1950s. The battleship's main battery is represented by eight 406-mm guns in four turrets.
