It is the first ship of the old Japanese Navy's King Kong-class battle cruiser and the world's first warship equipped with a 14-inch main gun. Construction began in 1911 at the British Vickers Shipyard and was formally commissioned in 1913. Originally designed as a battlecruiser, it had four twin-mounted main turrets, two front and two rear, a configuration that allowed all eight main guns to fire on one target at the same time. The design was influenced by the British Navy, which was designed with heavy armament, high speed and limited armor protection. It was eventually sunk by a U.S. Navy submarine, the last record of a battleship being sunk by a submarine in Navy history.
