More than 1,000 crew were killed;the cause remains unknown to this day. \u003cem\u003eNagato\u003c\/em\u003e survived the war and was sunk during the American nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll; the wreck is widely considered one of the premier diving destinations in the world. This is the illustrated history of both ships, including a historical synopsis, full technical description, and more than 100 photographs and diagrams. Naval historians Lars Ahlberg and Hans Lengerer have established themselves as experts on and specialists in the warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy during WWII. Their work is differentiated by being primarily driven by the utilization of Japanese-language primary source material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764369650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs","brand":"Hans Lengerer, Lars Ahlberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51280903995573,"sku":"9780764369650","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6feb6f30-e9b0-4fae-9be7-feb7b8fdbf48.jpg?v=1751469713","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nagato-class-battleships-ijn-super-dreadnoughts-nagato-and-mutsu-9780764369650","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
