Iwami Commemorative Flag

Iwami is a historical province in Japan in the western part of Honshu island. From the beginning of the 13th century up until the year 1600, Iwami was ruled by the Masuda samurai clan. The flag depicts his family emblem, or mon.

 

Key Features of Iwami:
Iwami is a close-quarters combat battleship that enjoys powerful main armament, secondaries with good armor penetration, and torpedoes with a range of 12 km that are similar in stats to those on Shimakaze. To compensate for this formidable array of offensive weaponry, the ship received 32 mm plating and a vulnerable citadel.
