The BB in the first link is no ship of the Kongo class I think. There is no second funnel visible behind the aft mast-structure. With only a single stack, and the pagoda turret looking as it does, I think it's Hyuga.
As for the second link, I think this is the Haruna, as her SA turrets have rounded sides (as opposed to the Fuso- and Hyuga-classes, which had square and angled sides on their SA turrets
Last link under BB is no battleship, it's the Aoba, sunk off Nabe, S of Kure Naval Yard. cf. photograph in Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War, p.358 and 359, the damage pattern on her port bow matches, as does the traning of her B-turret to port, apart from the fact that the turret design identifies her as either Furutaka or Aoba class.
