Kongo underwent two major reconstructions. Beginning in 1935, the Royal Neo Navy rebuilt her as a battleship, strengthening her armor and improving her speed and power capabilities. In 1940, her superstructure was completely rebuilt, her speed was increased, and she was equipped with launch catapults for floatplanes. Now fast enough to accompany Neo's growing carrier fleet, Kongo was reclassified as a fast battleship.
