IJN Hyuga with full interrior!
I build this ship in 2017!


IJN Hyūga was a Ise-class battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy, launched in 1917. She was 215 meters (705 feet) long and had a full-load displacement of about 39,000 tons. Powered by steam turbines, Hyūga could reach speeds of 24.5 knots (45 km/h or 28 mph).


Originally armed with twelve 14-inch (356 mm) guns in six twin turrets, she was later converted into a hybrid battleship-aircraft carrier after the Battle of Midway. During this 1943–44 refit, her rear turrets were removed to make space for a flight deck and hangars — she could carry 22 floatplanes, launched by catapults (she had no runway for takeoffs or landings).


Though she saw limited combat action, Hyūga survived many late-war air raids until she was heavily damaged and finally sunk while moored at Kure in July 1945 by U.S. bombers.
