Japan Battleship Commander
JapanBattleshipHistoricalAircraft
Overview

Built for battleships that carry Airstrike, such as Aki and Suwo, where Ghost Fleet Maneuver shortens the Airstrike cooldown. Hidden Hand adds one extra Airstrike squadron, but lengthens the cooldown between Airstrikes and weakens Airstrike torpedo damage. Pair him with Agile Seagull and Bird's Eye View on Ise or Dewa.

Commander Bio

Jisaburo Ozawa (1886–1966) was an admiral of the Imperial Japanese Navy and commander of the Combined Fleet during the final years of World War II. He assumed command after the death of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and led Japanese naval forces at the Battle of the Philippine Sea in 1944. Known for his strategic acumen and leadership under increasingly difficult circumstances, Ozawa represented the last generation of Japanese naval command during the war.
