Historical context of the IJN Kongo battleship

IJN Kongo was a battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She was built at the British Vickers shipyard in 1913 as the lead ship of the Kongo class. She underwent two modernizations and during World War II served as a fast battleship. IJN Kongo participated in many key operations in the Pacific from 1941–1944, including the Battle of Leyte and actions around the Solomon Islands archipelago.
