Description
The Kongo-class, IJN Haruna, 1945 (榛名, namesake: Mount Haruna) is a gift rank Japanese battleship with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced during Update "Danger Zone" as a reward for the 2022 Summer Quest event.
Haruna is the fourth and last of the Kongō-class Battlecruiser (later Fast-Battleship), being commissioned in 1915 on the same day as her sister ship, Kirishima.
Seeing almost every major naval action in the Pacific conflict, She sailed with the southern fleet in prepration of the battle of Singapore, covered the Japanese landings in Malaya and Dutch East Indies, engaged in the battle of midway and fought in the Guadalcanal Campaign. From 1943 onward she would primarily move between bases as escort and cover for withdrawals and transfers.
She would sink in the port of Kure Naval Base after several days of bombarding by Task Force 38 on 28 July 1945.
General info
Survivability and armour
Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.
Mobility
Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.

History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template.
