Battleship Haruna (TopDrawings)
Before the Konga class battle cruiser design was created, a similar type of British ship construction had been studied thoroughly (Thunderer, Neptune, Lion, and Indefatigable). During a council held on April 13, 1910, an order for a new class of ships was discussed, but a final decision was not made until May 23, 1910. In December 1910, the Japanese Prime Minister proposed the construction of "huge armored cruisers" based on the British Invincible class during a Parliament meeting.
The Konga class battle cruiser design was not the first of its kind. Prior to its development, a comparable type of British ship construction had been thoroughly examined, including vessels such as the Thunderer, Neptune, Lion, and Indefatigable. It was not until April 13, 1910, that a council convened to discuss the order for a new class of ships. However, a definitive decision on the matter was not reached until May 23 of the same year.
Interestingly, in December 1910, during a parliamentary session, the Japanese Prime Minister put forth a proposal for the construction of what he described as "huge armored cruisers" inspired by the British Invincible class. This suggestion came prior to the finalization of the Konga class design, indicating a growing interest in the development of large, heavily armored naval vessels across international borders.
The timeline of events suggests a period of active consideration and deliberation within the naval community regarding the future direction of ship design and construction. The Konga class battle cruiser, while not the first of its kind, represented a significant milestone in the evolution of naval warfare, building upon the lessons and experiences of previous British ship designs. The Japanese Prime Minister's proposal further underscores the global attention and competition surrounding the development of these powerful maritime assets.
