The Sakura Empire's first super-battleship, born from the secretive 'Project Orochi,' is a groundbreaking collaboration between the Sakura Empire and the Sirens to create a battleship with power surpassing that of KANSEN. This experimental warship was armed with an extraordinary array of weaponry, including a vast number of anti-aircraft guns, nine turrets with 46cm naval guns, four 95-inch railguns, and a forcefield capable of defending against various attacks. Its most formidable weapon is a hypersonic two-stage ICBM, which can destroy large landmasses, like islands.

-Facts-
The general design for Orochi was created by mechanical designer Ishiwata Makoto
Orochi's hull is around ~1,200-300 meters in length (including the elongated bulbous bow)
The guns seem to be derived from Yamato's Type-94 naval guns
In the manga for the Azur Lane animation, Kaga uses the Orochi's railgun to attack Zuikaku and Yukikaze
While it isn't noticeable, Orochi utilizes torpedo launchers, though they have never been used.
Orochi appears to lack propellers (as seen in the art book), and has noticeable intakes towards the front of its hull, and side hulls, indicating it uses jet propulsion
