The IJN Haruna was one of the most important Japanese battleships of World War II. She served, among others, in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944 — one of the largest naval battles in history. After multiple modernizations, the battleship stood out in the fleet due to her firepower: eight 356 mm guns in twin turrets, extensive secondary and anti-aircraft artillery. She was actively used by Japan during the final phase of the Pacific War until she was sunk in 1945 after heavy clashes with the Allies.
