Satsuma — Japan Tech Tree Tier 11 Battleship.

The plans for the Yamato-class battleships included the construction of eight ships before 1950. In early 1941, the program was adjusted: Using the intelligence data on the construction of capital ships in the U.S., the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff gave the order to build more battleships, some of which were to be based on an improved project with 510 mm main guns.
