An item reported that there was hardly any new information available about the Japanese battleships now being build.There were at least five under construction of which one at the Kure Naval Dockyard, one at the Mitsubishi Company yard, Nagasaki and one at Maiduru or at the Kawasaki shipyard at Kobe. Of those latter third ships two were to be named Kii and Owari (1). What the value of this assumption of those names was, could not be said. Two battleships projected in 1921 with the same name were cancelled as a result of the Washington Naval Conference. A fourth ship seemed to be the Nissin launched at Kure, Japan on 30 November 1939 and the fifth seemed to be the Takamatu under construction at Yokosuka.
Note
1. Part of Kii-class fast battleships largely based on the Amagi-class battlecruisers design preceded by Tosa-class succeeded by Number 13, four planned and finally cancelled. Both ordered on 12 October 1921, Kii to be built by Kure Naval Arsenal and to be completed November 1923 and the Owari by Yokosuka Naval Arsenal to be completed in September 1923, keel laying stopped on 5 February 1923 due to the limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty and formally cancelled on 14 April 1924.

In a report dated February 1938 dealing with the valuation of the Russian fleet was stated that the three available battleships belonged to the Gangut-class (1,2.3) built before the First World War were despite the in 1933 completed modernisation of the machinery and boilers not of a great figthing value and could be compared with the French Paris-class.(5) An offensive use was hardly to be expected. Their speed was not extreme high as a voyage of 2 days with a cruising speed of 20 miles proved. The ships were usuable for the support the coastal and island defence and the mine barriages in Finnish waters. It was finally decided to built the new battleships in Russia but it could be doubted if this could be done within a reasonable period without decisive foreign support.(6)
