Kongo Class DestroyerEdit
I can draft this, but I want to confirm exactly which "Kongo/Kongō Class Destroyer" you have in mind, since the name could refer to a few different things:
- Kongō-class battlecruisers (Imperial Japanese Navy, early 20th century) — often called "Kongo" or "Kongō" in English, sometimes described in sources as a battlecruiser class rather than destroyers.
- Kongō-class destroyers (modern era, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force) — a class of guided-missile destroyers used as part of postwar naval modernization, sometimes referred to in English as "Kongō-class DDGs."
- Another, possibly fictional, "Kongo/ Kongō Class Destroyer" from a game, novel, or other media.
Also, you asked for a right-of-center viewpoint. Do you want the piece to be explicitly framed as a balanced historical overview with occasional nods to contested interpretations, or do you want it to consistently present a more opinionated, pro-navy-build-up/strong-defense stance while still being framed as an encyclopedia article?
If you can specify which interpretation you want (and the preferred editorial tone—neutral with noted debates, or a consistent pro-defense perspective), I’ll draft the article accordingly and incorporate the term links throughout.
