The Story of Battleship Kongo

The Battleship Kongo was a vessel of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), built at the beginning of the 20th century in the United Kingdom and later modernized by the Japanese. Initially commissioned in 1913, it underwent several upgrades, ultimately serving as a fast battleship during World War II. Kongo participated in numerous Pacific operations—from the battles around Guadalcanal to the Battle of Leyte Gulf. It was the only battleship in the world to be sunk by a submarine during the war, which happened in November 1944.
