Product Description : Two types of battleship and aircraft battleship have been converted into a special series, Himuka. This time, this product has been specially designed! The battleship Himuka ship Himuka was built at the Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard as the second ship of the redesigned Ise-type battleship based on the former class Fuso model.
After being remodeled once in the early Showa period, it entered the Pacific War.
In May 1942, during a shooting exercise in the Iyo-nada Sea, an explosion occurred in the fifth turret, which was temporarily unloaded and equipped with four 25 mm 3-piece machine guns at that location.
At the same time, the radar (radio wave probe) that was under development at that time was tested and demonstrated.
The next month, without lowering the test probe, they went to the Mid-Osaka capture operation.
After that, together with the consort ship Ise, they were converted into an aircraft battleship for the emergency replenishment of the aircraft carrier force. After that, they went to the Shoichi Operation and survived without a single shot.
The last one was completely destroyed by the attack of the US aircraft carrier in Kureji Ward in July 1945.
