General information
The IJN Settsu (摂津, namesake: Settsu Province) Built after the Satsuma-class semi-dreadnoughts, the Kawachi-class were the first true dreadnoughts of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Uniquely among dreadnoughts, this class features a mixed-calibre main battery. The design originally used all 45-calibre main guns, but reports of the Royal Navy using 50-calibre guns in its newer battleships encouraged the IJN to adopt 50-calibre as well, though cost concerns prevented all the 45-calibers on the Kawachi design to be replaced.
It was introduced in Update "New Power". Besides the Settsu's plentiful main calibre guns, she is fairly average, with the standard 21 knots (39 km/h) top speed for its time, with a capable, but not unbreakable armour scheme.
