  • , named after Mutsu Province, was a dreadnought battleship built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1910s and the second ship of her class. She carried supplies for the survivors of the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923. The ship was modernized in 1934–36 with improvements to her armor and machinery and a rebuilt superstructure in the pagoda mast style. Other than participating in the Battle of Midway and the Battle of the Eastern Solomons in 1942, where she did not see any significant combat, the ship spent most of the first year of the Pacific War training. Mutsu returned to Japan in early 1943 and one of her aft magazines detonated in June while she was at anchor with the loss of 1,121 crew and visitors. The IJN conducted a perfunctory investigation into the cause of her loss and concluded that it was the work of a disgruntled crewmember. They dispersed the survivors in an attempt to conceal the sinking to keep up morale in Japan. Much of the wreck was salvaged after the war and many artifacts and relics are on display in Japan.
