-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (日向, [[Abbreviations#.28JP.29_Naval|namesake]]: Hyūga (old) Province) is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese battleship {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Hot Tracks"]].
+'''IJN Hyuga''' (日向, [[Abbreviations#.28JP.29_Naval|namesake]]: Hyūga (old) Province) is a battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and the second vessel of the Ise class. Commissioned after the end of the First World War, the battleship saw limited action during her service. Notably, she supported Japanese troops during the Siberian Expedition in the Russian Civil War, assisted survivors of the Great Kanto Earthquake, and participated in several battles of the Pacific War during the Second World War. Hyuga was sunk during an American air raid on Kure in July 1945 and was subsequently raised and scrapped in 1946–47.

 Armed in 18 casemates and 2 gun turrets, the 140 mm cannons provide the Hyuga with good in-between main salvo firepower, loading at {{Annotation|6 seconds|Full Ace. 7.8s Stock}} with SAP, which can be used to destroy lighter vessels with ease as 10 guns are usually full broadside aimed at said vessel and ranging for the main guns. They also dish out considerable chip damage on light & heavy cruisers, usually resulting in fires and crew losses that will start dwindling the longer the guns keep firing on them.

-As a Battleship, the Hyuga can take and deal quite a beating with her powerful 12 x 356 mm guns that will blow most ships out of the water with a full salvo. With a shell output of 2 RPM (per cannon), there still be a good bit of downtime in between large salvo's, which can be filled in with the casemate 140 mm's that come with SAP shells on the ready that can cripple DDs, CLs and lightly armoured CAs on-top of the 10 RPM fire-rate.
