Fus -Class Battleship

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Fusō-class battleships (Japanese: 扶桑) were two battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) constructed during World War I. Displacing 29,330 long tons (29,800 t) upon completion, Fusō and Yamashiro, the vessels of this class, were the first super-dreadnoughts of the IJN. They were completed from 1915 to 1917, both in Japanese shipyards. When launched, they outclassed all battleships of both the Royal Navy and the United States Navy in terms of speed and firepower. Both patrolled briefly off the coast of China in the last year of World War I before being placed in reserve at the war's end. In 1922, Yamashiro became the first battleship in the IJN to successfully launch aircraft.
