Kii-class battleship
The ''Kii''-class battleship was a planned class of four fast battleships to be built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1920s. Only two of the ships received names. They were intended to reinforce Japan's "eight-eight fleet" of eight battleships and eight battlecruisers after the United States announced a major naval construction program in 1919. However, after the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922, work on the ships was suspended; one pair was cancelled in November 1923 and the other in April 1924.
==Design and background==
(詳細はWoodrow Wilson announced plans in 1919 to re-initiate the 1916 plan for ten additional battleships and six battlecruisers. The Japanese response was to plan the construction of eight additional fast battleships in the ''Kii'' and the Number 13 classes.〔Evans & Peattie, p. 174〕
Designed by Captain Yuzuru Hiraga,〔Gardiner & Gray, p. 232〕 the ''Kii'' class was based largely on the preceding s, where were in turn based on a less-armored ''Tosa''-class design.〔Gardiner & Gray, p. 235〕 The only major difference between the ''Kii''s and ''Amagi''s was their speed and armor—the ''Amagi''s were faster, and the ''Kii''s had a thicker belt. Despite this lineage, the ''Kii''s were classified as "fast battleships" by the Japanese, as they had decided to end the distinction between "battleship" and "battlecruiser."〔Breyer, p. 353〕
