Kongou is the lead ship of the four Kongou-class fast battleships. Her sister ships are [[Hiei]], [[Haruna]] and [[Kirishima]].  

<br>Classified as a Fast Battleship in-game. The Kongou-class boasts good all-around stats for daytime surface combat and a slightly higher evasion than other battleships. Battleships generally do not have torpedoes and thus they can not take part in the [[Combat#Day_Combat|closing torpedo phase]], nor gain an additional boost to their [[Combat#Night_Combat|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 [[List_of_Seaplanes_by_stats|catapult-based seaplanes]] that can enable [[Combat/Artillery_Spotting|daytime artillery spotting with the appropriate equipment setups.]]
