The vessel entered service in 1928 and participated in numerous naval operations, including the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944. It stood out for its advanced weaponry for the time—nine 203 mm guns and strong anti-aircraft equipment—which made it a formidable opponent.
