<br>Classified as a Fast Battleship in-game. The Kongou-class boasts good all-around stats for daytime surface combat and a little higher evasion than other battleships. Battleships generally do not have torpedoes and thus they can not take part in the closing torpedo phase, nor gain an additional boost to their night-time firepower. In addition for being the largest surface vessels armed with conventional ballistic weapons, battleships have four equipment slots once fully upgraded and have access to catapult-based seaplanes that can enable daytime artillery spotting.

As a battleship, she enables an additional shelling phase for all daytime combat for both friendly and hostile forces. (More relevant in-game information here)
