Historical overview:

Mutsu was one of the most significant ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She served from the interwar period until 1943, when an internal explosion caused her to sink in the waters of the Seto Inland Sea. Armed with 410 mm caliber guns, Mutsu participated in exercises, convoy duties, and combat operations during World War II. To this day, the shipwreck and the circumstances of her sinking are subjects of analysis and historical debate.
