High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Kong? class battlecruisers were a class of ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) constructed immediately before World War I. Designed by British naval architect George Thurston, the lead ship of the class was the last Japanese capital ship constructed outside of Japan. Displacing 27,500 long tons (27,941 t) upon completion, the vessels of this class were considered the first fully modern capital ships of the IJN. Four vessels of the class (Kong?, Hiei, Kirishima, and Haruna) were completed from 1913 to 1915: Kong? in a Vickers shipyard in Britain, the latter three in Japanese shipyards.
