Tier V · Battleship · Japan · Premium
Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 56) · Long-range battleship
Long-range battleship. Top speed of 29.3 kn is high, but sluggish rudder make sudden dodges hard. Main battery range is 12.2 km (0.5 km longer than average), and dispersion at 12 km is about 305 m, 9% tighter than average. Effective HP of 41,618 is 8% above average, so it holds up well. Unique skill: 'Super-Graviton Cannon' gives turret traverse +12%, penetration +12%, main battery range +5% for 30 s (at the cost of top speed −15%). Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides.

A battleship of "The Fleet of Fog." Modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 3rd Kongō-class battleship, Haruna. First seen engaging I-401 in combat alongside Kirishima, she was defeated by the superior tactics of Gunzo Chihaya, commander of I-401. Her Mental Model "Haruna" always wears a large overcoat and has a keen interest in the human language, "collecting" word samples as she hears them. This warship has been specially designed for World of Warships and is modeled after Haruna as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-."
