Historical Description of the IJN Haruna

The battleship IJN Haruna was one of four Kongō-class ships, designed in Great Britain and built and operated in Japan. Construction began in 1912 and she entered service in 1915, initially as a battlecruiser. During the interwar period, she was modernized to a fast battleship variant with increased firepower and armor.

Haruna actively participated in the Pacific Theater during World War II, notably taking part in the Battle of Midway, the Solomon Islands campaign, and the defense of the Philippines. She was ultimately sunk during American air raids on Kure in July 1945.
