MUTSU (Japanese Battleship, 1920-1943) 

Caption: Starboard bow view leaving Hong Kong, 14 April 1928. Note clipper bow, which distinguishes her from NAGATO. Some sources say that this bow was not installed until 1930, but the date on this photo is well established by the photographer, who described the occasion on the original prints. Kowloon docks area in the background.
