Character
Appearance
- Both Fusou & Yamashiro sport a hair ornament that resembles a pagoda mast as they were widely known for pagoda masts that stood 40 meters, or 130 feet, above the waterline
- The height increased the visual spotting range by counteracting the planet's curvature, primarily for the main guns.
Personality
- She is constantly sighing & lamenting how unfortunate she is.
- Due to her history & word similarities
- A member of the 'Unlucky Tea Ceremonies'
Notes
- Received Kai Ni on October 24th, 2014
- Remodeling her results in a class change to an Aviation Battleship.
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 initial high expectations, especially given her name, which 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.
- There is a conflict in the accounts of her sinking:

Using six twin turrets rather than four triple turrets required a longer ship, 60% of the ship's length, & thus, increased armor. As turrets No.3 & 4 were not superfiring, they further increased the length.
As turrets No.3 & 4 were mounted amidships along the ship's centerline, they had restricted firing arcs, & forced the boiler rooms to be placed between them non-ideally & with limited space. This required extra insulation & air conditioning in the magazines of turrets No.3 & 4 to protect them from the boiler rooms' heat. Half the turrets were classified as prone to explode when hit. |
