Victory at Sea - Kirishima brings the powerful and battle-hardened Kongo-class fast battleship to the tabletop, offering players a key component of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Originally built in 1912 as a battlecruiser, Kirishima underwent extensive rebuilds in the late 1920s and 1930s, transforming it into a heavily armed and modernized battleship. Armed with eight 14-inch guns in dual turrets and a secondary battery of sixteen 6-inch guns, Kirishima combined firepower with impressive speed, making it a versatile asset in fleet engagements.

Throughout World War II, Kirishima served in several key battles before meeting its fate during the intense naval clashes around Guadalcanal. In November 1942, the ship was engaged by the American battleship USS Washington, suffering devastating hits that left it crippled. The damage was so severe that Kirishima was scuttled by her crew, marking the loss of another veteran of the Kongo-class.

In Victory at Sea, Kirishima provides Japanese fleets with a well-balanced and historically significant warship, perfect for recreating key battles or testing new tactics. Add this legendary fast battleship to your collection, available now at Boarding School Games.
