Overview
A powerful battlecruiser design based on concepts created in Japan in response to the ambitious U.S. shipbuilding program of 1919. She was intended to be a ship of approximately 50,000 tons, capable of 30 knots, and armed with guns of 410 mm or higher caliber. However, the Washington Naval Conference prevented the implementation of these designs.
