"The highly modern Imperial Navy does not care for big, cumbersome battleships which only impede naval warfare. Hence, the Hinode is more suited for commanding than for fighting. Its main role is to guide and control the Utsubo-class submarines, providing them with its huge line of sight and detection radius. It is, however, not to be taken easily in combat: thanks to its reactive armour and very long range, it can still defeat any battleship in a one-to-one engagement."
