Trivia

 * Fusou is a classical title for Japan.
 * 扶桑 (fusou) sounds similar to 不幸 (fukou) or 'misfortune', & 不相応 (fusouou) or 'misplaced' or 'unsuitable'.
 * Japan's first Super-Dreadnought & the first to be completely indigenous as opposed to the, at the time, Kongou-class battlecruisers.
 * Super dreadnoughts are an era within the battleships.
 * Finished in 1915. As time passed, her design showed numerous faults that outweighed her merits despite initially high expectations, especially given her name, & led to endless modifications.
 * Due to poor maintenance, sailors considered assignment to the Fusou-class to be the worst sea postings possible.
 * The remodeling into an Aviation Battleship stems from a plan for the Fusou-class after the carrier losses during the Battle of Midway. However, it was performed on the Ise-class instead.
 * Sunk, by possibly USS Melvin, during night battle in the Battle of Surigao Strait, October 25th, 1944.
 * There is a conflict in the accounts of her sinking:
 * Torpedoes caused progressive flooding, upending & capsizing her within forty minutes.
 * Torpedoes struck a magazine, causing a spectacular explosion & splitting in two with each half remaining afloat & burning for an hour. This seems to be increasingly discounted.
