The IJN battleship Nagato and her sister ship Mutsu were the first battleships to have 16" guns as their main battery. Nagato, completed before her sister in 1920, was one of the most formidable capital ships in the world at that time. Nagato underwent an extensive rebuild in 1936, including a re-boilering (converting from twin funnels to a single), large changes in the bridgeworks and superstructure and the addition of a large torpedo bulge. Nagato served through World War Two, taking part in the battles of Pearl Harbor, Midway and Leyte Gulf. She was the only IJN capital ship to survive the war, and was later used as a target at the second Crossroads nuclear test in July 1946.
