While Lu Yao was busy with the warship, coincidentally, Izumo's Yamato was also completed.
This largest battleship in naval history was finally equipped with 460-mm caliber naval guns.
It also featured three triple gun turrets, a total of nine massive guns, along with various secondary armaments and anti-aircraft machine guns.
The whole ship was covered with extensive armor, with key parts of the hull able to withstand hits from 460-mm cannons, even the smokestacks had protective armor fitted.
This too was a formidable steel beast, roughly the same size as the Jie Shuangyu.
The two were evenly matched and were bound to engage in an impassioned exchange of fire, each seeking to leave as much of their ammunition as possible inside the other.
Furthermore, Izumo also initiated the construction of a series of battleships like the "Ise-class, Kongo-class, Fusang-class," and others.
