Building the biggest and heavily armed and armored dreadnought of the second world war, when technology pushed to using planes as a form of combat, led it to being nearly useless
Well also the admiralty was paranoid about it being sunk so it basically never left the Japanese home islands. Personally I think the Bismarck is a better comparison, especially since it was more or less taken out by a swordfish an aging plane design with way too many names taken.
All I can think of is The Vasa, which suffered from similar fools and a similar fate.
And the Yamato battleship of the Japanese empire.
