Yumihari - Japanese Tier VIII Researchable Battlecruiser 1916

After the Russo-Japanese war ended, Japan adopted the Eight-Eight Fleet Program stipulating that the fleet was supposed to consist of eight battleships and eight high-speed armored cruisers. This plan underwent a number of changes: for example, armored cruisers were replaced with battlecruisers, and the number of ships was reduced. However, after the outbreak of World War I, the construction of new ships began again. The design of a new battlecruiser project was a development of the Kongō-class of ships. Later, the project was changed which resulted in creation of the Amagi class.
