[Ship history]
- With the end of the Russo-Japanese War, both Japan and the United States came to regard each other as virtual enemies.
- This is because, while the United States was aiming to acquire interests in mainland China, Japan's policy of expanding its interests in the continent, in which Japan and China and Japan and Russia had firmly gained a foothold on the continent, was not what they both wanted.
- Both countries strived to increase their naval power, and after World War I, Japan began building battleships in response to the United States' Daniels Plan (a large fleet construction plan centered on 10 battleships and 6 battlecruisers). The 88 Squadron plan centered on eight ships and eight battlecruisers was implemented, and the first flagship of the 88 Squadron was the battleship Nagato.
- The idea was that Nagato would be able to surpass or even fight on an equal footing with the battleships planned by the navies of each country, and as the strongest battleship equipped with a 40cm cannon, the largest naval gun at the time, she was built at the Kure Naval Arsenal in the Taisho era. Construction began on August 28, 1917, was launched on November 9, 1919, and was completed on November 25, 1920.
- Due in part to the establishment of the Washington-London Disarmament Treaty, Nagato reigned as the strongest battleship in the Japanese Navy, along with her similar ship, Mutsu.
- Nagato took part in Operation Midway, the Battle of the Mariana Gulf, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf, but this was no longer an era when battleships' naval guns were used to decide the battle between battleships, and her only gun battle was when she rained her main guns on the US escort carrier group at the Battle of Samar. Ta.
- After the war ended in Yokosuka, Nagato was requisitioned by the US military.
- In July 1945, Nagato became the target test ship for a hydrogen bomb test, and showed strong defensive capabilities by withstanding the powerful explosion of the hydrogen bomb and remaining afloat for several days.
- However, a few days later, the Nagato suddenly disappeared from the ocean, and no one saw her sinking.
