The Kongo battleship was one of the most famous vessels of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). It was built in the United Kingdom in 1913 and then thoroughly modernized in the 1930s. During World War II, Kongo was used, among others, during the Battle of Leyte in 1944 – one of the largest naval battles of the war. The battleship was renowned for its dynamic participation in combat in the Pacific and was among the first battlecruisers in the world to achieve speeds over 30 knots.
