IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY BATTLESHIP "MUTSU"
Description : She was the Imperial Japanese Navy’s second Nagato class battleship, laid down at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal on 1 June 1918, launched on 31 May 1920, and completed on 24 October 1921. Mutsu sailed with the Yamato, Nagato, Hosho, Sendai, nine destroyers and four auxiliary ships as Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto’s Main Body during the Battle of Midway in June 1942.
Mutsu suffered a catastrophic explosion in the number 3 ammunition magazine 3km North of the present-day Mutsu Memorial on Oshima Island, on 8 June 1943. Although the direct cause of the explosion was never substantiated, it was ruled by the Japanese Government as "human interference". The explosion was so severe that it instantly sheared the stern from the ship forward of turret 3, causing major flooding in the boiler rooms and main engine room. The 535-foot (163 m) front section of the ship rolled to starboard and sank almost instantly resulting in the loss of over 1,100 officers and men, including 140 instructors and cadets from an aviation training group on a familiarization tour. The stern upended and remained floating for nearly 12 hours before coming to rest just a few hundred feet south of the main wreck. Only 350 survivors were recovered.
The Japanese fleet was quickly mobilized and combed the small bay for enemy ships or submarines but came up empty. After a coverup operation was launched, and all hope of raising Mutsu was abandoned, the precious fuel-oil was pumped out and ammunition was recovered. Mutsu remained untouched for 25 years.
