初の日本独自設計による超弩級戦艦、扶桑です。
妹の山城ともどもよろしくお願いしますね。 レイテ沖？ そうね、いつか突入してみたいわ。ホントよ？ |
The first of the Japanese designs for the super-dreadnought battleship class, Fusou. Please remember to take care of my younger sister, Yamashiro, as well. Leyte Gulf? Oh well, I would like to go there someday. Right? |
See below. | |
| Secretary(1) |
提督…？ そんなに触ると、弾薬庫がちょっと心配です…。 | Admiral? If you touch it too much, I'm a little worried about the ammunition storage... | Both Fusou and Yamashiro sank after ammunition storage exploded. | |
| Secretary(2) |
提督、いい天気ですね…
(Kai2) 提督、空はどうしてあんなにも青いのでしょう…。私の心も、提督に……いっ、いえ！何でもありません。ごめんなさい…。 |
Admiral, the weather is good today...
(Kai2) Admiral, why is the sky so blue I wonder... My heart is also, towards the Admiral...... I-It's nothing! Nothing at all. I'm sorry... |
||
| Secretary(3) |
はぁ…空はあんなに青いのに…
(Kai2) 改装された、扶桑型の力……お見せします！ |
*sigh* Although the sky is so blue...
(Kai2) Please witness... the power of the remodeled Fusou-class! |

| Secretary(idle) |
あのー…提督？聞こえないのかしら……。提督？提督ー？…あら、良かった。扶桑、ここに待機しています。 | Um... Admiral? I wonder if I wasn't heard... Admiral? Admiraal? ...Oh my, that's a relief. Fusou, here waiting on stand by. | ||
| Secretary(Married) |
提督…根を詰め過ぎては、体に毒です。私？ 私は…はぁ… | Admiral… if you work too hard, your body will get bad. Oh, me?... *sigh* | ||
| Wedding |
私の主砲、すごいでしょ？ でも火力に特化しすぎて不便なこともいっぱい…提督なら、きっと、わかってくれますよね？ | My main cannons, aren't they wonderful? But specialising in firepower too much can lead to all kinds of problems… I'm sure you understand, right, Admiral? | The magazine explosion that sank Fusou was partly blamed to faulty ship layout, which includes the turrets occupying 60% of the ship's length and half of it being classified as prone to explode when hit. The boiler room was in between turret No.3 and 4, which makes it troublesome to add boilers in modernization. The same turrets when fired all together would also create blast waves that affects the entire ship. | |

History
As the first Super-Dreadnought from Japan, Fusou was finished in 1915 also as the first battleship to be designed and built entirely in-house. As time went by, her design showed to be having more faults than goods despite initial high hope ("Fusou" is the ancient name for Japan itself), notably the lack of defence as a result of spreading six main turrets along center line of the ship. To cope with that she was modified and modernized times and times, leading to the distinctive-shaped main bridge which exceeded 50m in height.
Initially she was standing-by at mainland Japan during opening stage of WW2 along with Yamashiro, but as the war turned badly to Japan, she was regrouped into IJN's front line attack force and went under command of Admiral Shoji Nishimura. Her last moment was the Battle of Surigao Strait where Nishimura fleet was T-crossed by USN fleet upon breaching into Leyte Gulf, Fusou took a heavy blow and her hull split into two following the explosion of ammunition storage. The battle is said as one of most miserable casualties among IJN throughout the war.
Customizing her in-game will turn her into Aviation Battleship. This comes from a stillborn plan to turn Fuso-class into Aviation Battleship (or into Aircraft Carrier as cited in some Japanese sources. The actual plan was only carried out on the Ise-class) after loss of four aircraft carriers in Midway.
Trivia
- Her name is a classical name for Japan.
- A member of the Unlucky Sisters. Taihou is most unlucky.
- Constantly sighing and lament of how unlucky she is.
- "Fusou" is a bit similar sound to "Fukou", which means unlucky.
- Both Fusou and Yamashiro sport a hair ornament that resembles a Pagoda Mast, the Fusou-class were widely known for their large Pagoda Masts that stood 40 meters above the waterline.
- Due to being in such bad condition at the time of WWII sailors in the IJN considered assignment to either Fusou or Yamashiro to be the worst sea postings possible.
- Sunk during the Battle of Surigao Strait, 25 October 1944, believed to have broken in half.
- Received her Kai Ni at 10/24/2014.
