The first Japanese class of dreadnought battleships developed based on the Aki semi-dreadnought. Due to technicalities, they carried a mixed battery of 45 caliber waist guns and 50 caliber guns on the end turrets. This made fire control more difficult. Both ships bombarded German fortifications in the Siege of Tsingtao during World War I. Kawachi was destroyed in 1918 after an explosion in her ammunition magazine. Settsu was put out of service according to the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 and was further used as a target ship, for naval aircraft in particular.
The Kawachi-class Battleship is a Tier 3 ship and the first in the Japanese battleship line.
This ship leads to the Myogi-class Battleship.

Historical Info
Kawachi (河内?) was the lead ship of the two-ship Kawachi-class dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) in the first decade of the 20th century. Following the Japanese ship-naming conventions, Kawachi was named after Kawachi Province, now a part of Osaka prefecture. During World War I she bombarded German fortifications at Tsingtao during the Battle of Tsingtao in 1914, but saw no other combat. She sank in 1918 after an explosion in her ammunition magazine with the loss of over 600 officers and crewmen.
