The battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy were among the strongest ever built, although aircraft carriers gained in importance among all nations involved in the war.
The author describes in detail and with great expertise all Japanese battleship classes used in World War II, from the Fuso to the Yamato class. He describes the origin and sinking of these capital ships.
