The battleship Kongo was the first and lead ship in a series of four fast battleships of the Kongo class, designed by British engineers and built between 1911 and 1913. It served in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War I, but it played a particularly important role during World War II, taking part in numerous operations in the Pacific, including the battles of Leyte and Guadalcanal.
