Japanese Battleship Fusō
Japanese Battleship Fusō
Launched in 1914 and commissioned in 1915, Fuso was the lead ship of her class of dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Fuso played no part in World War One, instead patrolling the coast off China. She underwent extensive rebuilds from 1930–1935 and 1937–1941 with improvements to her armor and propulsion machinery and a rebuilt superstructure in the pagoda mast style.
Due to her age, Fuso was used primarily in auxiliary roles early in the Second World War. At the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Fusō was part of Vice-Admiral Shōji Nishimura’s Southern Force. On the morning of 24 October 1944, Fuso was attacked by aircraft from the USS Enterprise and hit by two bombs. The first destroyed her aircraft catapult and floatplanes, while a second hit near Turret No. 2 and penetrated the decks, killing everyone in No. 1 secondary battery; the ship began to list 2 degrees to starboard.
During the subsequent night action of the Battle of Surigao Strait, Fuso was hit by one or two torpedoes and sank with 1,620 casualties.
