Japanese Battleship Settsu
The Settsu ( 摂津 (戦艦), Settsu (senkan)?) was the second of the two-ship Kawachi-class of dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She was built at Kure Naval Arsenal and launched in 1910. The name Settsu comes from Settsu Province, now a part of Osaka prefecture.
Her sister ship — Kawachi — had a straight bow as opposed to the clipper bow on the Settsu.
