Character

• Seiyuu: Fujita Saki
  
• Artist: Rikka

Appearance

• Both Fusou & Yamashiro sport a hair ornament that resembles a pagoda mast as they were widely known for pagoda masts that stood 40 meters, or 130 feet, above the waterline
  • The height increased the visual spotting range by counteracting the planet's curvature, primarily for the main guns.

Personality

• She is constantly sighing & lamenting how unfortunate she is.
  • Due to her history & word similarities
• A member of the 'Unlucky Tea Ceremonies'

Notes

• Received Kai Ni on October 24th, 2014
• Remodeling her results in a class change to an Aviation Battleship.

Trivia

• Fusou is a classical title for Japan.
  • 扶桑 (fusou) sounds similar to 不幸 (fukou) or 'misfortune', & 不相応 (fusouou) or 'misplaced' or 'unsuitable'.
• Japan's first Super-Dreadnought & the first to be completely indigenous as opposed to the, at the time, Kongou-class battlecruisers.
  • Super dreadnoughts are an era within the battleships.
  • Finished in 1915. As time passed, her design showed numerous faults that outweighed her merits despite initially high expectations, especially given her name, & led to endless modifications.
  • Due to poor maintenance, sailors considered assignment to the Fusou-class to be the worst sea postings possible.
• The remodeling into an Aviation Battleship stems from a plan for the Fusou-class after the carrier losses during the Battle of Midway. However, it was performed on the Ise-class instead.
• Sunk, by possibly USS Melvin, during night battle in the Battle of Surigao Strait, October 25th, 1944.
  • There is a conflict in the accounts of her sinking:
    1. Torpedoes caused progressive flooding, upending & capsizing her within forty minutes.
    2. Torpedoes struck a magazine, causing a spectacular explosion & splitting in two with each half remaining afloat & burning for an hour. This seems to be increasingly discounted.

For Wedding & MVP

Using six twin turrets rather than four triple turrets required a longer ship, 60% of the ship's length, & thus, increased armor. As turrets No.3 & 4 were not superfiring, they further increased the length. As turrets No.3 & 4 were mounted amidships along the ship's centerline, they had restricted firing arcs, & forced the boiler rooms to be placed between them non-ideally & with limited space. This required extra insulation & air conditioning in the magazines of turrets No.3 & 4 to protect them from the boiler rooms' heat. Half the turrets were classified as prone to explode when hit. Firing turrets No.3 & 4 together would create blast waves that affected the entire ship. (these two do not seem to be on wikipedia)
